Syncopated dance in duple time that originated in Cuba (5)

I believe the answer is:

rumba

(Other definitions for rumba that I've seen before include "one's on the floor for it" , "Lively Cuban dance" , "Cuban folk dance" , "Afro-Cuban or ballroom dance" , "What to perform" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
