Cumbia music is said to have originated in Columbia during Spanish colonial times.
A basic step often seen in Cumbia dancing is the back-break basic. Cumbia is characterized by a "wind-up" motion and it is often danced in a circular pattern sometimes called the Columbian or Cumbia circle basic.
Like most Latin dances, Cumbia is closely related to Swing and there are many common moves found in Cumbia and Swing.
