    My main problem is confidence. I practice the steps & when I think I have them down, I doubt myself and over think it in the process, then I think look like an idiot.
    I’ll work on both.
    My dancing & confidence.

    WOW! Thank you so much for this dance tutorial!🕺🏾💃🏽 I needed this! I am from Sacramento, California and will be making my first ever trip to Colombia this December 2022. My Spanish tutor lives near Bogotá and has been helping me learn more about Colombian culture. However, I will be traveling to Santa Marta and am excited that I came across this video to help me on the dance floor. 😁
    ¡Todo el camino desde Sacramento, California: muchímas gracias por tu lección de baile! 🤗

    OMG I always dance cumbia (and salsa) solo because I fear I'll make a partner give up on me, so thank you for assuring the basic gentleman's code for when he is to introduce the next step to me (never knew that) And... the bleeps are too funny, thanks, Mellie!!!

    So cumbia is like salsa and bachata together?

    • @samaval9920
      @samaval9920 5 месяцев назад +2

      1) Salsa-- many dances have quick quick slow or slow quick quick varyations, like salsa & urban Cumbia, (rural version
      has different everything)
      Salsa has unusual additional
      problem- some people have music count 1 & dance count
      at same time, BUT advanced
      salsa dancers slso vary thus
      so dance count 1 can start on music count 2, 3, or 4. WHY ??!!
      The dance is hard enough with
      both counts’1at same time
      2) Bachata basic has both on 1
      but at start, uses4 slows - step close!1,2 ,1,2!to left, reverse repeat to left or vice versa?
      Thus seems borrowed from 1 of
      Puerto Rico’s 19th c. dances, La
      Danza. puertoriquena ( See instructional videos by Giibaro
      Puerto Rico for danza,plena some other PR dances. For bomba, see
      several different videos.

    • @sandracousinotuttle4037
      @sandracousinotuttle4037 7 месяцев назад

      Match the 1, 2, 3 to the quick, quick, slow. They explain that the 3rd step takes a 2 count.

    @alen1020 5 лет назад +3

    This is Mexican. It's missing the elegance of the original CUMBIA FROM COLOMBIA. Look up "porro medellin" or "tutorial de porro" if you wanna see the real thing. This looks simple and tacky compared to real cumbia...no offense.

    • @How2Dance
      @How2Dance  5 лет назад +6
