Step 1
Begin the partner cumbia dance step turns by doing the basic cumbia dance steps. Step back with your left foot, placing it a little to the side, step in place with your right foot, then step forward with your left foot. Your partner will step back with her right foot, step in place with her left foot, then step forward with her right foot.

Step 2
Do the same steps again, but accentuate the open breaks, or the steps when you step back away from each other, by extending your arms. You can even accentuate the open breaks still further by letting go of your partner's right hand as you step back with your right foot, and letting go of her left hand as you step back with your left foot. This will help still further in preparing for the partner cumbia dance step turns.

Step 3
Step back with your left foot and step in place with your right foot as you begin the cumbia dance step turns. Continue stepping forward with your left foot, passing you partner on her right side.
-
Step 4
Let go with your right hand and lift up your left hand so that your partner can pass beneath it, pivoting to the left on her right foot, and step back with her left foot, ending up where you started. You will pivot on your left foot to the left and step back with your right foot.

Step 5
Go back to the basic cumbia dance step after completing that first partner cumbia dance step turn, letting go with first your right hand and then your left, accentuating the open breaks.

Step 6
Turn back in the other direction with another partner cumbia dance step turn, but this time you will end up in the same position as step one.
