Description

The Merengue is a lively, partnered Latin dance that originated in the Dominican Republic, known for its simple, consistent beat, and easy-to-learn steps. The basic step involves shifting weight between the feet in a marching pattern, keeping the upper body steady, and allowing the hips to naturally move with the bending of the knees. The dance is performed in a close-hold with partners moving in a circular fashion, often to music played with instruments like the accordion, guira, and tambora.
