"Hi, my name is Rosario Nene Ortega. I'm a Dance Instructor, Ballroom and Tango at the Goddess Store in Hollywood, Florida. In this clip we're going to talk about how to do the Cuban Walk in the Rumba. Rumba, being a Latin dance, Latin ballroom, coming from the Cuban Son; "s-o-n". We step back and we press our hip back and the front leg is completely straight. You can see it's completely straight. Now I'm going to walk to the side, bending my knee and my other hip, my right hip is going to lift because my left knee is bent. I'm going to come together and change again. So it's a slow, quick, quick, slow, quick, quick. I'm going to do it from another angle. I'm going to go this way on my side. We're going to step back, one knee is completely straight; the front knee, I sit back on my hip, I bend my left, slow, quick, quick, slow, quick, quick.
