on 11/22/2005 Escape to a position where you can do a lot more small moves. Lift up your hand (the one holding your partner's hand), spin around and come to a position where you both hold hands and are at arm's length away from eachother. From this position you can do some pretty amazing and sexy stuff, which is what makes merengue pretty hot.

on 11/22/2005 With the hand on your partner's waist, move your hand against her back in the same way your feet are moving. That way, your partner knows what you're doing without having to look at your feet. Control your partner by twisting her moving, etc.
