American Style Rhythm Rumba Silver Variations – Chris Morris

American Style Rhythm – Rumba Silver Variations is an instructional MP4 video presented by Chris Morris, demonstrating a collection of Silver-level American Style Rhythm Rumba variations. Produced in 1993, the program explores creative combinations built from syllabus figures, showing how familiar movements can be developed into more expressive and challenging routines for practice, performances, and competition.

Each variation combines established Silver figures with actions such as swivels, rondes, shadow positions, telemarks, développés, and spins, allowing dancers to expand their repertoire while maintaining the character of American Style Rhythm Rumba. Designed for dancers who already understand the Silver syllabus, this video serves as a practical reference for adding variety, improving movement quality, and developing more dynamic choreography.
