: Step back with one foot, bring the other to meet it, and tap. Switch feet and repeat.
: During the lyric "sacúdete sacúdete como una gallina" (shake like a chicken), perform a rapid shoulder or hip shake.
: Create a "beak" with your hands in front of your face, opening and closing them rhythmically.
The foundation is the standard Cumbia "back-step," which creates a playful, swinging motion.
: It’s an eight-beat count, but you only step three times before a brief pause (Step-Step-Step-Pause).
What makes this specific cumbia unique is the miming of a chicken's movements during the chorus.
