Merengue Dancing

The festive Merengue first originated in the Dominican Republic and has become the nation's official dance. This unique dance, it has been said, started when a returning war hero named General Maringie, danced dragging an injured leg. Out of courtesy, the public imitaded him. As a result, the dance is mostly comprised of walking steps and side steps, making it both fun and simple for anyone to do. While the movements are relatively uncomplicated, it becomes a rhythmical and exciting dance once leg and hip action are developed. Merengue also incorporates turns and pretzel-like moves which make it entertaining and interesting. The intoxicated music makes Merengue impossible to resist, inspiring every listener to get up and move.

Testimonials

Dancing has been the very best thing I have done for myself in a long time.  Litttle shy me now has a group of friends and I have the confidence to talk and dance with complete strangers.  All of the instructors are wonderful and I have learned so much from all of them.  Exercise has never been more fun and I jump at the chance to sweat some more.  In only 2 months I am down 20 pounds and even more inches.  I never thought I could learn to dance so quickly and get so much out of it.  Thank you from the bottom of my dancin' heart.
