@oahu2maui you can make a LOT of progress in 2 years! As long as you really enjoy it and practice practice practice! But always make it fun, not too serious. A lot of people catch "dance snob syndrome" and you don't want that! :) Enjoy you're lessons!!!!
also, to improve the all-essential hip action, especially the girl - she shows that she is capable of good hip action in some places but she loses it often throughout the dance. Overall, good but needs to imrove to pick up medals and grades.
There is room for improvement, of course, as there is with any grade of dancer, even with professionals! Two areas for this young couple to concentrate on right away are: to concentrate on dancing in synchrony with each other - they are often one behind the other in timing;
Rumba, I think, is the most difficult of the Latin dances: it is the "slow foxtrot" of Latin as far as comparative difficulty is concerned, and all good dancers know how difficult the slow foxtrot is! The speed of their dance music is 24-26 bars per minute and that is fast enough for rumba - any faster and it starts to take on a "slow salsa" feel. If the couple in the video are new to rumba then they are doing a good job of it.
Not bad but she needs to improve her hip action. Did they chicken out of a Hockey Stick turn at about the 01:15 mark? A Hockey Stick followe by an Advanced Hip Twist and layout into an Allemana would been nice.

Very good for beginners, try a little more twist in the feet which will give the hips more action.
