Students during an hour-long cumbia class

About 55 minutes

How Long Is a Cumbia Class

Each class is about 55 minutes, and classes come in 4-week sessions.

How the hour is split

A typical class:

  • Warm-up and the basic on your own
  • New step or turn, taught slowly
  • Partner practice with rotation
  • Run it to a full song at the end

Why four weeks

One class gives you a taste. Four in a row, same night each week, is enough time for the steps to stick without practicing at home.

Questions people ask

Should I arrive early?

Five to ten minutes early in week one, to check in and change shoes.
