American Rhythm is the North American way of dancing Latin-American dances, such as Cha-Cha, Rumba, Swing, Samba and a few others. The tempos in some of the American Rhythm dances can be faster than in the International Style and the actions may differ as well. For example, the knee action in American Rumba is more bent, but the hot and sexy style remain.

These free online dance lessons will teach you the basic steps. However, the use of a visual aid such as an instructional video or the help of an instructor at a dance studio are essential learning tools.
