I was surprised that bagpipes are among the musical instruments used for this dance. In Mexico the accordion often accompanies songs. In the United States, only a small number of people can play either instrument. Almost all the musicians that play the accordion are of Scottish ancestry.
I was also surprised and charmed by the woman's use of a lit candle to protect her honor. :-)

Alejandra, your submission was really good! Great job sharing information about the cumbia!
Remember to make use of periods to compose sentences. Unfortunately, in my correction I could not make use of the various editing tools to help you visually due to some technical glitch.
You have made great progress, continue on making more gains with the rules of grammar and increasing your vocabulary. I think that “vueltioa fique” might mean a natural fiber type material (fique) from the northern Caribbean Region of Colombia (vueltioa). I think, but am not positive, that candongas may be earrings. As you advance, you will be able to give an English explanation for any such Spanish terms within your stories to aid your readers.
Your story basically only needed some minor corrections. I had rearranged a sentence structure some and added “they move in a flattering way” to better help tie your other thoughts in that particular sentence all together. I also did elaborate a little bit with one part, in the area where you had written “but this is part of the scene”, I made use of a more expressive statement “Such playful interactions make for a wonderful performance!”.
Other correction areas were very minor though. I think that you did very well, congratulations to you for the progress that you have made!
