Traditional Colombian Dance

Cumbia, a traditional Colombian dance. Its shuffling steps are attributed to African slaves who wore leg irons and chains during the eighteenth century. Cumbia unlike Merengue and salsa does not require a partner. The Cumbia is one of the most popular dance rhythms in Latino community. The Cumbia is performed in many styles including tropical, Vallenato, Sonidero, Banda, and Tejano Conjunto.

Colombian style salsa
Colombian salsa is characterised by spectacular and complicated footwork. Partners tend to spend more time dancing almost at arms distance apart than in either Puerto Rican or Cuban salsa, often with both hands gripped, yet held out to the sides rather than in front of the body. This comes from Colombian folk dancing influence. Colombians tap on the third beat of the bar and place their foot on the fourth beat, so the hips are stiller for more of the bar than other styles. Colombian salsa can also include a Cumbia (traditional dance) influence including dancing separately whilst circling around the other partner using a shuffling step and a small circular hip movement.
