REPEAT FROM SECTION 1

NOTE: ‘Cause you start on 2 of music (in according with international latin federations) the count of music are not the same count of steps. But to be more simple I’ve chosen to begin the count of steps on 1, so the change weight don’t be on 4-1 but on 3-4. It’s just a technical note for Latin teachers and dancers.

Thank you, Patty. This is very nice. Beautiful authentic Rumba figures. I agree totally on the step timing, breaking on Beat 2. It can be so confusing and unnatural to dance when people choreograph dances using international rumba music and break on the wrong count. It is also confusing due to the large number of rumba music coming from US with the accent placed on the wrong beat.
