RUMBA

Master Class

Senior Center dancers learn through Phase 3-Plus. The "Plus" means that a few

Phase 4 steps--such as Alemana and Aida--are learned. So much of a Phase 4 dance

will look comfortable, but there are some steps that are unfamiliar to Ph.3+ dancers.

Sample of a Ph.4 Rumba

A World without Love Roy & Betsy Gotta

[Gary has danced with Betsy in Denver and in Reno]

Phase 5 adds more steps to the list; so much of the dance may have standard steps,

but many figures would be unknown to the lower-level dancers.

Sample of a Ph.5 Rumba

When We're Dancing Pamela & Jeff Johnson

This is a very easy Phase 6 Rumba with only three Ph.6 steps. A Ph.4 dancer would be

able to perform most of the choreography.

Nationally-renowned Round Dance instructor Sherry Garza informed Gary that she observes

the styling of champion ballroom dancer Yulia to incorporate into Round Dance exhibitions.

Here, Sherry confers with Willie.

TYPES OF RUMBA

Round Dance follows International Rumba, not American Rumba.

CAUTION: Remember to adopt any ballroom step to Round Dance, i.e., a ballroom American Rumba to

International Rumba.
