To get the rhumba attitude, gently sway hips to the side as you complete a step. This is especially accentuated on the "hold" counts; as you execute the hold, just slowly sway your hip in the same direction of the foot your weight is on, completing by the end of the "hold". This can also be done to Two-Step music although it changes the "flavor" of the dance.
