Rumba is a vibrant and expressive dance from Cuba with deep African and Spanish roots. It combines rhythmic drumming, call-and-response singing, and stylized movements that often tell a story or reflect playful flirtation. Traditionally performed in community gatherings, Cuban Rumba includes several styles—like Yambú, Guaguancó, and Columbia—each with its own rhythm, tempo, and character. It’s more than a dance—it’s a cultural celebration of resilience, connection, and joy.
Suelta Fusion explores movement inspired by a variety of Cuban dance styles, including salsa, Afro-folkloric, yuka, rumba, and despelote. You’ll learn how to move freely and with intention, focusing on rhythm, coordination, and expression—without the need for a partner. Suelta Fusion offers a space to connect with your body through the roots of Cuban music and dance.
We can’t wait to dance with you! 💃🏼
