	Rumba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rumba is both a family of music rhythms and a dance style that originated in Africa and traveled via the slave trade to Cuba and the New World.
		The so-called rumba rhythm, a variation of the African standard pattern or clave rhythm, is the additive grouping of an eight pulse bar (one 4/4 measure) into 3+3+2 or, less often, 3+5 (van der Merwe 1989, p.321).
		Perhaps because of the mainstream and middle-class dislike for rumba, danzón and (unofficially) son montuno became seen as "the" national music for Cuba, and the expression of Cubanismo.

	Arthur Greenburg's History of Rumba, Mambo and Cha Cha
		The Rumba music was the first music to emanate from Cuba and it migrated to Miami Beach and then travelled all the way to New York City and the first dance that was taught to that music was a box step called by American Teachers, "Rumba", or sometimes "Rhumba".
		International Style Cuban Rumba is danced to (Bolero Tempo) relatively slower music than the peppy music that arrived in New York City, (often referred to as Guaracha.) The International Cuban Rumba starts with a preparation step on the Right Foot with the ensuing step, a Forward Rock Left Foot on the 2 beat.
		When I was taught this dance in the late l940's it was explained to me that the hip movements called Cuban Motion were to be manifested on 4&1 as well as the fwd and back "charges" taken on the 2 beats in the music.

		The traditional dance technique associated with both the son jalisciense and son jarocho is the zapateado, a distinctive type of footwork that originated in Spain.
		When dancing the zapateado the performers skillfully drive the heels of their boots or shoes into the dance-floor, pounding out swift, often syncopated rhythms which complement the different rhythm of the musical instruments.
		In the dance the movements of the performers often represent the farm-yard courtship described in the verses of the sones.
