DEFINING DANCE – AMERICAN RHYTHM
Rhythm dances include Cha-cha, Rumba, East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, Bolero and Mambo. Often considered to be more ‘street-based’ than the International Latin, American Rhythm is danced to slightly different rhythms with an earthier interpretation than the Latin. In American Rhythm, the dancers will use a bent leg action allowing them to delay their change of weight on the step, so you will frequently see them with bent legs.
