Summary: The Merengue, a Latin American Dance originating in the Dominican Republic, is an upbeat and fun dance that incorporates quick, light movements. There exist different histories of its origin, one being the story of a war veteran who returns from a war with a wounded leg; upon arrival to his hometown the villagers, out of sympathy, danced with a limp to make him feel better – thus creating the Merengue's distinct motion. Another story relates how African slaves saw European dancing and wanted to dance as well but found the movements too boring, and introduced new motions to liven up the dance. Whatever the true origin of the dance, the Merengue is a fun dance to learn! If you would like to learn how to dance the Merengue but do not have the time, learn from our expert Merengue dance instructor for free, online in your own home.
