And you would be correct...

The " Box " is the same format as Danzon ,which is/was the original form of Rumba.

This box style was taught in the UK until the late 40s, and is still taught in the US as part of the Bronze sylab.. The Intern style Rumba is based on Bolero, again, still taught in the US.

I use the Box format for my social class students ( AND with original cuban music )..-

Thanks for your reply.

"no place in ballroom dancing" was my wording. Sorry if it gave the wrong impression! But our teachers made it clear that we shouldn't do the 'box.' I appreciate socialdancer's reply from the U.K., stating that it probably is a question of 'International' vs 'American' and explaining why the 'box' doesn't fit the timing and style of 'International.'

Much appreciated.

I just moved to London and was looking for a studio that teaches international ballroom, if you don't mind me asking where did you go? :)
