Cumbia
Slower and simpler, with a relaxed basic that repeats every bar.
Salsa
Quicker footwork and more turns, with tighter timing on the 1.
Going from one to the other
Dancers who start with cumbia often pick up salsa faster, because they already hear the beat and know how to rotate partners.
Questions people ask
Is salsa harder?
A little faster, yes. Level 1 starts slowly.
