Transcripts
Terry Dean: Hi! I am Terry Dean from Terry Deans Dance Studio. Today, we are going to be teaching the Rumba. Rumba is a wonderful romantic rhythm dance, where it creates a lot of body action. I have been teaching dancing for 30 years and rumba has always been one of my favorites. It allows me kind of exercise in the morning when I want to dance. It gets my whole body isolated in dancing.
Remember, the dancing is exercise and physical exercise -- you have to be stretched out and ready to dance. So, make sure that you enjoy it, and have a lot of fun, but be in good shape.
Also, you have to have a certain look that Latin dances are going to be, normally a little bit sexier so that the dresses and the outfits are going to be a little bit sexier, but there is still a lot of fun and there is a lot more body actions. So, we hope you enjoy it.
Next thing I am going to be doing are the components and the basic actions of the rumba.
