HOW TO ADD RUMBA INTO YOUR DANCING //"Cuban Salsa" 

If you enjoyed this video... here is a little more in depth breakdown of basic steps in guaguanco as they relate to the instruments played by percussionists. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2FESL7iePec.html

I have never seen this set out so clearly anywhere. Thanks

Still religiously following your uploads from Brisbane, Australia! Love this content, the more Afro and Afrocuban the better, there isn't enough of it on RU-vid WITH INSTRUCTIONS!

Threw them right in the deep end with the side step. Love it.

Hi, I'm watching you from Spain . Thank you too much for your video. Love Guaguanco

Killer vids man! Much respect, watching from Freiburg, Germany

watching from Ukraine , thanks it helps to feel life)

I live in Miami I was born in Cuba great video you really explain step-by-step very clean style very good explanation thumbs up👍

This is awesome, thank you. I'm having a problem keeping grounded, so I think learning some Rumba will help me with that.

I know this "travel step" under "marco-abre, marco-cierra" name :) pretty hard to coordinate at the beginning, but great to play with during dancing. Also, what a great ending! Pedrito Martinez voice is incredible :)

Amazing! Excellent instructions...so rare to find such clarity. I love your dance style and channel. More guaguanco and rumba please!

Watching from Finland 🇫🇮😁 nice corner of the globe you have there. These have got to be the best dance videos I have found yet. The dances you teach are authentic and true to their roots - this is hard to find. You break down the steps really well and take the time to explain all the important basics such as musicality that have usually (sadly) been overlooked in the dance classes I have taken. The humour in your videos also appeals to me on a spiritual level and your photography and video editing are top notch 🔥🔥🔥

Just perfect, i improved my style! Many thanks!!! I Understood a lot of thing and learned bases in Rumba salsa and other style of afro danse thanks to your lessons!!! And the most important thing that i had all answers without going anywhere!!! Thanks A lot!!!!

Por fin! Excelente explicación de los pasos! I wish this video was available 2-3 years ago when I started dancing casino! Gracias!! Que siga la rumba!

Appreciate you doing that for the ladies 🤗👍💯

Amazyng first time i listen that clear explanation from 🇵🇪 Peru

Thank you for sharing this awesome pattern. Love your videos. Enjoying this all the way from Singapore

Great video man. Funny enough my sister just moved to North Carlolina. I never knew that was where you filmed from. If I ever visit (I live in Europe) I will def drop by the studio and say hello!

Nicely explained brother. Much better explained than others have taught me

I am from Philly but just moved to Indy(indianapolis). Just started taking lessons. Love your videos

Increíble. Beautiful quality video. Appreciating you from lisboa pt.

Super clear explanations. And, with your style of making videos, you can make tv series/documentaries on any topic you like - its just so nice to watch and hear. Also, you have such a good sense of humor.

Supporting! Today i made a list of videos of yours and went on to dance the whole day. Like in the good old festival days. Rumba, afro, palo.. feelt soo good. Thanks man!

Its funny seeing this being taught so formally, this is what you see people dance tambores at the beach in Venezuela.

Russia Krasnodar city.Great video👍

loved it. would love more videos on adding rumba to salsa. not much content on this out there. would love to know how to add it to the basic partner moves

keep making vids you are a great dancer and also great editor!!

Super clear! Merci from France

well done as always amigo. love the breakdown...and hope you make more videos on rumba and can expand and go even deeper. excellent work! and your photography is impressive as well...the town looks like a pleasant place to live...but with your last name I would have figured across from reggio di Calabria...hahaha...cheers and keep up the great work supporting and promoting Cuban patrimony!

Amazing video! Cant wait to show off my new moves

Bien expliqué. bonne vidéo. Merci

That's great! Thanks for sharing!

Hello! I can't tell you what exactly I want to see here on your chanel. But your videos resonate with something in me both throught content and throught manner of presentation. Thank you!

Watching you from Crimea, one of the most beautiful places of our planet. 00:03:30 Some cubans, that were with the classes in our town told us, that a man grabbing his pants in rumba also means he is saying "look, i have something in my pockets (cash, present)" to attract and distract woman. Awesome content you have. Keep it up!

Thank you ! it very intresting! Big love for !Palo)

Good stuff

Thanks. Very interesting, I enjoyed that.

Lovely explanation! Thanks

Amazing video 💙 thanks for sharing :)

I have been learning cuban salsa for several years primarily through the Rueda method and learning ever more complicated turn patterns. Although a bit difficult combining fast moving rueda when your learning a new pattern its great once you have a rough idea because you then get to continually practice it with constantly different partners combined with all the other patterns you previously learned. but despite reaching the master class two times I quickly realised that this is just a mere fraction of what Cuban Salsa is really about. My main dance instructor always tried to introduce rumba, afro rumba and son steps into the Rueda but I always wanted to have a separate non Rueda course that purely focuses on this side of Cuban salsa starting right at the beginning with the basic rumba movement, weight transfer, angle and stance. A one of workshops at a social or salsa festival has never worked for me. The limited dance ability I do have was learned by going to lessons twice a week, week in week out one month after another the whole year around, combined with going to salsa socials virtually every weekend where I could get to practice what I learned straight away on the dance floor. It's like you said, you sometimes need to practice a movement 6000 times before it sinks in and starts to look natural. Anyway I really love the way you explain and teach, breaking down every movement for us. Your channel and these videos are the best I have ever seen on RU-vid.

Thank you so much for this great video:)

That's pretty cool you do the "female version" of this dance. Arriba Latinoamerica! Hay por Dios la gente sigue fumando! te lo dije cuidao tu eh....:-)

great video as always! More basic turns for casino would be great. Thx ^^

muchas gracias mano que lindo

More suelta!!

very good video

I have struck gold. I kept finding ballroom dance rumba

I’m in Tucson, AZ BUT moving to the D R in Sept

I love the videos I would love to visit class

Just for my own sanity, you were dancing on two when you were doing these movements to the music, yes?

Nice work, can I add this in L.A style? 😀😀

Hi....( I don't find your name :'(), will you put some afro-cuban tutorials? the most common like elegua etc...

4:45 6:35

Are you Cuban?

Your video is pretty cool, but I gotta say that one important thing you missed is the WHEN and the WHY. If you don't include a discussion of when it is appropriate to incorporate rumba into salsa or casino, then the problem is that it just becomes an appropriation - a caricature of dance. And why not suggest at some point that folks learn rumba for it's own sake and in it's original context - not just some isolated steps for the purpose of incorporating it into salsa?
