Simple Footwork and Rhythm
Merengue’s core is its side-to-side step, driven by a 2/4 rhythm. Dancers shift weight between their knees, adding hip motion to create that classic Latin dancing style. Our Durham instructors teach precise footwork, ensuring every person feels confident on the dance floor.
