Bachata is about moving the hip from side to side with every step, and salsa is about moving your hip from side to side with every step. On paper, the movements are the same. However, the movement of each part of the body is different because it matches the beat and rhythm of each genre

How are cumbia and salsa dance styles different?
They both follow 4/4 time. They both have follow a 'quick-quick-slow' step pattern. Cumbia music on average is slower than Salsa music. Salsa music has more layers of harmony and sounds more complex.
