The Cuban Rumba, originally an erotic courting dance is of all the Latin American dances
the one most deeply rooted in its African origin.
It's danced rhythm in its purest sence and it is called dance of love.

Characteristic for this open couple dance with partly very complicated
dance figures are the hip and pelvis movements originating in African traditions.

The Rumba is, despite its African origin, the slowest dance among the Latin American dances.
