Cuban Rumba Clave Freeze

The leader taps out a simple clave rhythm on two sticks while dancers move freely to it.

Dancers must match their footwork loosely to the rhythm's accented beats.

Without warning, the leader stops tapping, and every dancer freezes on the spot.

Any dancer caught still moving after the tapping stops sits out for that round.

Continue with faster, trickier rhythms each round until one dancer remains.
