Merengue March
March in place, one step per beat, with the hip of the straight leg pushing out.
How to do it
- Step R, L, R, L in place on counts 1-4, and again on 5-8.
- Land on the ball of the foot with the knee slightly bent.
- As each knee bends, the opposite hip naturally lifts and shifts out.
Tips
- Think "march with a wiggle".
- Add arm pumps once your feet are steady.
Common mistakes
- Marching flat-footed with a stiff torso.
