These Rumba Walks on the same feet were known in ISTD syllabus books as "Kiki Walks". Especially when these walks are done forward by the man and lady. When the lady does the Runaway, she ends up in a Runaway stretch - and holds only 2 counts on it with one of her free arms stretched out in parallel to floor - so I call this a Runaway picture line. It is a pretty picture line, and this is great for a dancesport environment. From all this (and this includes the man's forward lunge at the end) looks like this routine is good enough for Gold Syllabus level in Rumba, since the foot changes usually do not appear in Bronze or Silver in Rumba.

In the olden days, the Same-Foot Rumba Walks in R Shadow Position was known in ISTD technique books (especially in "variations") as the Kiki Walks.

In open-style dancesport, the Kiki Walks can be extended in a straight line or in a circle, and of course, you can use guapacha timing. For instance.... 2 3 4 (hold 1 2)...AND 3 4-1. Or, you can develop the Kiki Walks into what I call "Rumba Walk Development into Runs" in this timing... 2 3 4- (hold 1)...and 2 and 3 and 4-1. On the "and 2 and 3 and 4-1" (6 steps) the walks are double-timed so it has the effect of a "running action."
