Choreographers note:- A simple QQS Rumba Choreographed to take up little floor space yet allow for full Cuban Motion body movement and styling. As this is strict tempo, there are No Tags or Restarts
Dance History:- The dance was Choreographed in 1994 as a guide/introduction to Latin Dance Teachers of the merits of Line Dance. This dance later proved successful as a ‘warm up’ prior to a number of Competitions.
It was first demonstrated (by accident) to line dancers in Bogor,Indonesia on 30th September 2011
The dance was given the title ‘Mourumba’ and ‘officially released’ in 2014 along with the ¼ turn at the end (to compliment the earlier dance ‘Moving On Up’. ‘MOVING ON UP’ was an smoother flowing Line Dance adaptation which became a Global Hit in 2004-10 and particularly in the Asean countries between 2009 and present day – July 23rd 2014.
