Burma's whirling dances (6)

I believe the answer is:

rumbas

'dances' is the definition.
(rumba is a kind of dance)

'burma's whirling' is the wordplay.
'whirling' indicates anagramming the letters.
'burmas' is an anagram of 'RUMBAS'.

(Other definitions for rumbas that I've seen before include "Cuban folk dances" , "Afro-Cuban dances" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
