How to dance merengue: for dance exercise

For written transcript see: zumba-sheila-bl...
Merengue music is usually between 120-160 beats/minute. Here I'm playing 150 beats/minute. Adjust your tempo depending on your music. Here I break down the following 12 moves: 1) basic merengue march, 2) march with twist, 3) basic side step, 4) basic side step with figure 8, 5) basic side step with hip circle, 6) turning basic side step with hip circle, 7) turning basic side step wth hip circle and shimmy, 8) 3 step or "side replace together side replace together", 9) crossing 3 step, 10) bouncy side together side with figure 8, 11) pony, 12) mambo chasses

16:00 mambo chasse exactly what I'm looking for! Thank you! You're a wonderful teacher! ❤️

[@lindamills9119]

I really appreciate how you break it down and explain it. So many dvds I have they give a couple seconds of instruction and then act as if I'm supposed to get it. I keep having to rewind and rewind....

[@victormendoza6896]

2:16 - this move is important in merengue choreography when you hear somebody say, "Ay mambo....ay mambo....ay mambo....ay mambo...."

[@linateguh6372]

Yeeesss ! Easy to follow ....,thank youuuuu ....

[@charlessmith263]

5:43 - In the way you used your hips, I am thinking about the "Merengue Hip Swing" here in the basic side step. In cha-cha, it is used in the Travelling Merengue Crosses (Int'l Cha-Cha), and sometimes, in the samba, in the Travelling Volta (Int'l Samba).
