When do you dance merengue?

The Dominican Republic is widely regarded as the birthplace of merengue, where it is a part of the core culture. It is the genre of music that is played while dancing merengue. When merengue is danced, the dancers stand side by side and make small side-to-side steps known as "walking steps." These phases move in a circular or counter-circular direction. The woman frequently spins in the opposite direction of the man during the second phase. The dance's rhythm is frequently expressed through hip movement or pelvic thrusting.
