Step 1
Begin the cumbia sweetheart dance steps by doing the basic cumbia dance steps. You will step back with your left foot as your partner steps back with her right foot, your hands clasped. As you step in place with your right foot, your partner will step in place with her left, then step forward with her right foot as you step forward with your left. Repeat the process with the other foot.

Step 2
Remember to accentuate your open breaks as you both step back from each other by extending your arms. This will allow you to prepare even better for the sweetheart cumbia dance steps.
-
Step 3
Keep your hands clasped throughout the sweetheart turn. While you continue doing the basic cumbia dance steps, pull your partner toward you as you lift up with your left hand. Your partner steps back with her right foot, then steps forward with her right foot, pivoting on the ball of her left foot and turning to the left.
-
Step 4
Put your left hand down so that your hand will be in front of her shoulder, while her right arm will be across her chest as she holds your left hand with her right hand, and her back is turned toward you. As you step back with your right foot, she'll step back with her left foot.
-
Step 5
Lift your left hand so that your partner can step forward with her left foot, pivot on her left foot, and step back with her right foot.
-
Step 6
Do as many cumbia sweetheart turns as you would like in a row, but both of you remember to return to the basic cumbia step when you are finished.
