Merengue
The simple moves make this dance easy to learn and perfect for fast Latin music. The merengue is a popular dance of Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
The merengue beat is a strong one-two rhythm, which is interpreted as two dance steps using the characteristic pumping action and there is no deviation from this simple rhythm so the steps themselves are very easy, an advantage which has resulted in many people being able to get up and just dance the merengue without any formal tuition.
The moves involve an up and down motion of the hips as you bend the knee and drag the step.
