This week, some of our students had opportunity to take a class of Rumba Catalana; one of the most typical and cheerful dances here in Catalonia!

Catalan Rumba, also known as Gypsy Rumba, is not flamenco, pop or rock music. It is a way of living, sensing and expressing feelings. This kind of music, born in the heart of Barcelona during the Sixties, is without a doubt as much part of Catalan identity as the typical folk dance Sardana or Castellers, the traditional human towers.

A really nice experience to learn how to dance these cheerful sounds and meet local people!
