The question has been asked. Most people do not know which is the accentuated beat in a correctly played Rumba. Well it isn't one, or two, and not three. That leaves only four.
Copied straight from the book. 'The time signature is 4/4 with promenent percussive accents associated with the fourth beat of each bar. Don't blame me guys. I only looked it up and quoted.

This just happens to be an excellent person I took this methodolgy with many years ago in university:

Joe Beraducci

Check with your local colleges, etc. to see if anyone offers Orff-Schulwerk in your area. The whole program is aimed at internalizing music.

I know many of its activities would transfer well in dance situations.
