Wow, I have not seen these guys since 2004. They also work at la ENA and performing. I can't believe I do not remember my own Cuban dance partner's name. She still looks good.

[Mistertaz]

Beautiful... Exactly how they dance it in Cuba.

[Jakito88]

That would be because this IS filmed in Cuba.

[HavanaSei]

Really great,

love my music

[Justsailaway]

is the cuban rumba not danced with a partner? every clip i've found seems to be single dancers only

[clizra]

What you see is Columbia. There are three forms of Rumba - Yambu, Guaguanco and Columbia. Yambu is the young flirty woman dancing with the old man (even if danced with a young guy) and he cannot "attack" her. The Guaguanco is seduction between the man and the woman and the man can "attack her" (to try and get her pregnant). and the Columbia is the showing of masculinity since it is the chicken dance. The "rooster" shows his moves.

[Justsailaway]

so whats the type you see in movies like dirty dancing?

[Worldmusicrevolution]

thank you for explaining that!

[liyab0469]

I HAVE THE SAME THOUGHT..

[edwardoalvarez22]

@Justsailaway  That's the way it's danced.

[mariaguajira]

dale rances

[lanrito73]

I was actually at this performance. These guys were my dance teachers and if you can believe it was even more amazing in person.

[jahalafia]

asere, esta hechando humo de verdad.

hot. this is real deal rumba!

[tamagochipop]

Por favor!! Si en este momento estuviera ahí los besaría! Increíble, realmente.

[MamboBravo]

Dancing with "soul" is above any professinal trainning. Dance is an art form and only people not dedicated to this art, are ignorant and will judge any other dancer, so as often said in the streets of New York "don't hate, appreciate" --Life is beautiful, Dancing makes is it better!

[Rasscoco]

Cuban Rumba is similar to Moroccan popular music

[clizra]

If you want more info about classes and teacher in Cuba go to the Latidos Productions side.

As for Cubans always giving a critic-it's part of the culture.When you are in Havana, many people don't work.They hang out on the streets,gossip,observe people.They can tell in a second if the dancer is a professional or from the street. When life is not busy you get caught up in the detail and gossip of every day life. Professional dancers are different in attitude though

[puskasbal]

How to contact them? They are amazing!

[futhamuker]

There's alot of good rumba here online. Try not to judge what the best. Enjoy it all, dance, drum or and merely feel the clave. No rumba critics, or clave police on duty.

[elSabio27]

Only the Cubans tend to do that if you notice..they think they are the only inventors of good music and dancing altogether..i hate to be hard on them, but everytime I read their posts everywhere most of them are downing other talents instead of holding each and everyone up...Stop this critizing nonsense already and maybe then some of us will listen to you all better!!!

[lapluma85]

its called having pride in what ur nation created. Something that everyone does when something comes specifically from their own distinct culture or ethnicity etc..not saying that its right, but its not just a cuban thing

[Guaguanco11]

Possibly the best rumba video I have seen

[salsosa39]

felicidades! son los mejores,profecionales no ahy dudas de eso.

[ndyahCUBA]

That's how we do it...se me pone la cabeza mala!!

[betsyny1]

You can really tell, these guys ARE the best, especially in relation to the other videos posted here. Felicidades!

[scottyscot]

They are really good, my new aim to incorporate those moves in my dance, they feel the music

[clizra]

They are professional dancers from Habana.. some of the best from the Cuban dancers and performers in the city in some of the best folklore groups and cabaret...
