Video Transcript

"In this clip, we're going to move on and we're going to talk about merengue. Merengue is one of the most enjoyable Latin dances. It's very easy as well. I would say that it's the easiest Latin dance that we can find. In the merengue, we going to start with the Cuban motion where we move one knee and the other leg is straight. One knee, yes, and as we move that, our hips I'm going to loose, yes. And that merengue is a two beat, two step. One, two, one, two, one, two. You can also move around. One, two, one, two, one, two, one, two. This is the easiest and the fun dance that we can have in the Latin ballroom. Also, we can go to the side. We're going to go to the left. Left, together, side, together, left, together, side together. And as we want to go to the other side, we do the same. Right, together, together, right, together, merengue."
