Our Rumba Dance Lessons in Toronto will teach you this beautiful style which originated on the US East Coast in the 1930s and is a very romantic and elegant dance. At the same time sexy and refined, its personality tends to be smooth and flowing rather than the high energy passion of Tango. However advanced Rumba dancers will often add a few rapid, yet precise moves into their routines to spice things up with some contrast and depth.
Learning to dance Rumba can improve your ability to add a smooth, flowing elegance to all the other dances you do because it forces you to concentrate on and refine your self-awareness and technique in this area. It is also one of the 5 dances in International Standard competitions.
PRIVATE LESSONS
- If you want to become a great dancer or progress more quickly than the norm, private classes will get you there. We have many of the best teachers in the city who are not only amazing dancers (often at national or international levels), but also make it easy and fun to learn. If anyone can take you farther, faster than you though possible, it’s these dance teachers.
WHAT TO WEAR
For beginner classes, just comfortable clothes and shoes. Women may want to wear heels, but this is not required and height should be limited to below 2″ or they will make it significantly more difficult to learn.
If you get more serious, you may wish to invest in a proper set of latin dance shoes. These are designed to allow freedom of movement, while also subtly guiding your body’s mechanics into the proper form. Latin dance shoes will generally be soled in suede leather to allow their wearer to do turns and spins more easily.
