For those of you asking "What the heck is a Rumba?"
A Rumba is the type of music that most country dancers are doing the Cha-Cha to. "I Just Want To Dance With You" by George Strait is a good example. Even though we think of it as a cha-cha, it is technically a Rumba due to the speed and the lack of brass and percussive instruments. Most all of your country ballads today would actually pass as a Rumba. American style Rumba, Tango and Bolero are all counted with words instead of numbers to make it easier to keep track of long strings of choreography.
