About Cumbia Dance
The cumbia is the national dance of Colombia.
It was originally a courtship dance influenced by European, African and indigenous cultures.
The dance is usually accompanied by a specific ensemble of musicians.
Cumbia’s lively, rhythmic sounds are both fun and energizing, promising to bring a lift to your mood.
In fact, cumbia music serves as the inspiration for much of the popular music in Colombia today.
