Cumbia BUT NOT in the traditional sense of the dance. As the traditional cumbia dance does NOT have this marked hip movement. It is more the product of the posture for the dance and the movement of the feet. It is, in fact, a very subtle hip movement.

You're definetely doing the Colombian Cumbia, though. Colombian Cumbia is known for the hip movement and lots of foot work. All other Cumbia variations like Mexican and Peruvian are all about spinning but no foot work, which seems kind of cheap to me.
