=Making My Mark:Becoming an expert at dancing Cumbia Soledad Morales= Cumbia has some good dance steps, and when you get tired of doing the basic steps I will add some more cumbia kick steps. Cumbia Is a musical style of Colombia was played with a lot of drums. Also I'm really interested In dancing Cumbia because I have seen a lot of people dancing It and I'm just right there staring at them how they dance. I really want to be a teacher of dancing Cumbia but being a teacher I need to be an expert on It and It's really hard.

Cumbia first hit New York and then went to the U.S like back In the 1920s because Colombian bandleaders wanted to peform In New York. All their musicians being a group to peform and play with tambor drums and large gaita flutes.

While im preparing to dance Cumbia I could kick over with my left foot, and then afther with my right foot. Besides only kicking, In dancing you could move any where and maybe add some more steps that could be new. However I must follow the music the way it goes. Also we can dance with a partner or by our selfs. Cumbia never hit the U.S because they were hardly Latinos, It first hit at Colombia during the 1930's. =
