There is a ballroom dance, also called Rumba, based on Cuban Rumba and Son. Also, still another variant of Rumba music and dance was popularized in the United States in 1930s, which was almost twice as fast, as exemplified by the popular tune, The Peanut Vendor . This type of " Big Band Rumba" was also known as Rhumba. The latter term still survives, with no clearly agreed upon meaning: one may find it applied to Ballroom, Big Band, and Cuban rumbas.
Some dancers considered rumba the most erotic and sensual Latin dance, for its relatively slow rhythm and the hip movement. Rumba is actually the second slowest latin dance: the spectrum runs Bolero, Rumba, ChaChaCha, Mambo in order of the speed of the beat.
