How it works
A 105 BPM metronome clicks inside a competition rumba's range. The World DanceSport Federation's rules allow the dance 25 to 27 bars a minute; with the four-beat bar in Wikipedia's Ballroom dance list, that is 100 to 108 beats.

Start
Tap the pad, or press Space. The 105 arrives in bars of four, with a higher click and a larger dot on beat one. Tap again to stop.
Change the tempo
Tap the number under the pad and type a tempo, or use minus and plus. A wind-up metronome usually passes 105 by: the most common scale in Wikipedia's Metronome article moves in fours here, 104 then 108.
Questions and answers
Is 105 BPM andante or allegretto?
Andante in Wikipedia's list of tempo markings (56 to 108), which opens Allegretto at 112 and calls its figures very rough. A Japanese dial in German Wikipedia's Tempo article prints Allegretto from 104, a French one Adagio from 98 to 124: approximate hints, it says.
How many bars of rumba is 105 beats a minute?
Twenty-six and one beat over: 26 bars of four are 104. Rule E.3.2 of the World DanceSport Federation's 2026 rules prints 25 to 27 bars for the Rumba and no beats, so the times-four is our own sum. It sets a range, not one tempo.
How do I play 105 in cut time or in 3/8?
On the page for that bar. In cut time (2/2) the 105 counts half notes, 210 quarter notes a minute; in 3/8 it counts eighth notes, 35 bars a minute. Both sums are ours. The 2/2 and 3/8 metronomes each take 105 under their pad.
Why can't I hear the metronome?
Silence on a phone has three usual causes: the ring switch, a volume slider at zero, or Bluetooth earphones that took the click. The bar shows regardless: four dots light in turn at 105, the first of them larger.
