Merengue is the ultimate “party dance”! Originating from the Dominican Republic, it is loved worldwide for its upbeat tempo and incredibly easy-to-learn 1-2 rhythm. If you’ve ever wanted to dance but didn’t know where to start, Merengue is your perfect first step. At Motion Arts Center, we make sure every class feels like a celebration!
No Partner? No Problem! We rotate students throughout the session, so you can join us on your own or with a friend. It’s a fantastic way to meet new people in a high-energy, social environment.
Beginner-Friendly & Fast-Paced Fun: Merengue is the easiest Latin dance to pick up. Our talented instructors will have you moving, turning, and smiling from your very first lesson, regardless of your experience level.
Build a Strong Foundation: The hip movements and connection skills you learn in Merengue are the building blocks for Salsa, Bachata and Cumbia making you a more confident dancer overall.
To help you master that signature Latin hip motion, we highly recommend our Latin Motion Fundamentals class. This “solo” class focuses on individual body mechanics, isolations, and footwork, helping you move with more grace and confidence without the need for a partner.
