How to Do Cumbia Dance Step Kicks

Now for the cumbia step variations, I'm also going to add a kick on this step too. Marking the 4 and marking the 8. Instead of the pause. Here's the step we were doing. We were stepping, crossing in front, step, and we were kind of pausing and in the pause, sliding this foot in. Instead, we're going to add a kick. Let me show you how that's going to happen. It goes right, left, right, kick. You're going to kick down to the floor. Almost like you have something on your shoe and you want to get it off. That's how you're going to kick. Kick down because it's very fast. It's on the 4, then you step, cross, step. You're going to kick 8, step 1, cross 2, open 3, kick 4, step, step, step, kick 8. Putting it all together a little bit faster with counts looks like this. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. That's the cumbia step with the kick.
