Quick introduction to the timing of Merengue:
Merengue is one the easiest dances and has a distinct beat that you dance on. The music is phrased in counts of 8 so normally you would count it 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. But even 1,2, 1,2 will work - as long as you shift your weight on the right beat. Note, in Merengue you can take as many or as little counts to do any of the moves below.
