Service Description

Rumba Cubana is a lively style of dance and music that originated in Cuba in the late 19th century. It is a fusion of African and Spanish influences, and was traditionally performed in small groups in Havana's Afro-Cuban neighborhoods. The dance involves a lot of hip and pelvic movement, as well as footwork and arm movements that mimic the rhythms of the music. The music is characterized by a driving beat and syncopated rhythms, often played on traditional instruments like the conga drums, claves, and bongos. Today, Rumba Cubana is a beloved cultural tradition and is recognized as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. It continues to be performed and enjoyed around the world, both in its traditional form and in modern interpretations.
