Cumbia Timing for Beginners

Where the step sits

The basic follows a steady pulse: step, return, step, return. Each change of weight lands on a beat, so your feet keep time like a drummer.

Why rushing the turn throws it off

Beginners often speed up when a turn starts. The turn should take the same beats as the basic. Rush it and you finish early, then have to wait for the music to catch up.
