Amsterdam, get ready to Rumbear!
Welcome to the Rumba Guaguancó Level 1 Bootcamp!
In this bootcamp, you’ll start from scratch with Rumba Guaguancó, a dance and music style that is an essential part of Cuban culture. The best part is that Rumba is not only a genre on its own: it’s also the root that gives flavor and energy to Timba. 💥🔥 Without Rumba, Timba wouldn’t have that explosive, playful, and truly Cuban touch we all love on the dance floor. Learning it will help you move with confidence, understand the music on a deeper level, and connect more fully with your partner.
Our bootcamp is designed so that anyone can learn, even with no prior experience. All you need is the desire to move, feel the music, and let yourself be carried away by the essence of this dance.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗥𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗮 𝗚𝘂𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗼́?
Guaguancó is a seduction and playful Afro-dance where the man tries to conquer the woman, waiting for the right moment to make the gesture that simulates sexual penetration called “vacunao”.
The woman’s role is to avoid the man’s advances and protect her pelvis with her skirt or scarf (or simulates this movement with her hands).
𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗥𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗮 𝗚𝘂𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗼́?
Many dancers, when the timba rhythm shifts to the 2x3 clave of Rumba, keep doing the same steps as if nothing changed. But the music **did** change. And if they don’t know how to react, they’re missing out on one of the most enriching parts of Cuban dance.
𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲: Ladies bring your skirt/scarf, men bring your handkerchief (zakdoek) please.
No need to subscribe with partner, however it's always fun to bring your dance buddy.
𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹: Open level – all dancers welcome (no prior experience required.).
𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻:
- The essential steps: Master the basic movements of Guaguancó and the correct posture to dance with confidence and style from day one.
- Connect your body with the music: Discover how to move your hips (for women) and how to use your shoulders and arms (for everyone) to bring authenticity and flavor to your dance.
- Immerse yourself in the culture: Learn about the history and Afro-Cuban roots of Rumba Guaguancó, and dance with respect, understanding the value of this tradition.
