The Rumba is considered the “dance of love”, and involves passion and sensuality existing between two dancers. With sharp sexy movements, this Latin dance incorporates “Cuban motion”, an expressive movement achieved with a combined effort using a figure eight hip motion and a bending and straightening of the legs with weight changes from foot to foot.
It’s rhythmic roots originated in Africa and found its way to Cuba. Rumba music has a slow, 4/4 timing that has become one of the most popular dances in America after coming to the states in the 1920s.
Latin dancewear for ladies is unique in design and colors. You want to choose something with a fitted bodice to enhance the lines of your body movements. Adding details to a dress like fringe, ruffles, or flounces enriches the look of sexy cuban motion. Men typically wear simple black dance pants with or without a satin sideseams, but Men’s Latin shirts are infinitely as varied and interesting according to each man’s unique preferences -including lace, satin, sequins, or even sheer fabrics.
