Bolero Continued

The major differences between Bolero and Rumba are:

Timing.  Bolero you hold the count of 2.  American Rumba you hold 4.  International Rumba you hold 1.  Confusing right?

In in Rumba there is no rise.  In Bolero there is a rise on the slow step, then a lowering on the next quick.

The hold is more like smooth and standard in Bolero, while Rumba is the usual Latin hold.

Lastly, Rumba foot placements and movements are very sharp, but Bolero is much smoother, more like a smooth or standard dance.

Interesting isn't it?
