I love how you guys take time to show your footwork so we can really follow along! More videos please !

[lbafs]

I have been searching for dedicated Rumba classes on and offline for years because thats the only way I can master a style. Sporadic onetime workshops, or odd you tube videos here and there never worked for me. Anyway now I have. You are filling a major gap in the online market place. After an initial explanation If you can make another one where we can just practice with 'music only' with you. that would be the tops. 'Muchas Gracias' :)

Thanks for the great vids. Do any focus on hip movement for Guaguanco? Thanks!

I love rumba, the fluidity, the earthy pull, the drums, the mix of love and duel. But figuring out out how they do it, well, it's not easy. I'm having a party with you tonight, doing ALL of your guaguanco sessions. It might be helpful to see and hear the instruments you talk about. What is the carrots one??? - that sounds like 'kata'?

Thanks for the very useful video. Can you post a video on arm/ upper body movements in rumba?

[czerox]

Hello, do you advise to watch any other video / Playlist before watching the guaguancó videos? Thanks.

[joseluisnietocarmenate]

hello! maybe I'm wrong but I've been watching Cuban rumba dance for many years and I'm a native of Cuba, I see that they are starting the clave in 2 with the left foot and 3 in the right. I have learned it just the other way around. Begin clave 2 with the right and clave 3 with the left. 😉😊

Now you have questioned me... hehe how it would be correct, or is it accepted in both ways?Thank you very much and sorry for my english 🙏🙏😊

It seems worth mentioning-- this video, and almost all of La Suerte's fantastic material-- is starting on the Lead (left) foot. As much as I love doing these videos, I have had to start going contrary (which gets really confusing sometimes) because when I was dancing, what did I do? Style on the lead-- which made for some interesting (euphemistic) dances because the leads were like - okaaaay- and I would have to figure out how to get myself back to follow footing/timing. So, if anyone out there is listening - feel free to include follow footwork/timing/styling anytime. Thanks and LOVE this group.

"Hello, I visited Cuba and saw a few dance performances. Would you mind reviewing my 2 dance videos to help me identify the dance styles I videotaped? For some reason, I thought the dances were Rumba, but I could be wrong.

[DanyLi-lj]

The whole point of learning the rumba is not to be able to apply it to salsa only my friend. The whole point is actually dancing rumba!
