Choreographer’s Note: Dance can be done very simply or you can suggest some styling on the Merengue steps like moving your shoulders on the first 8, dipping R shoulder when stepping on R, returning to center when stepping on L. On third 8, dip L shoulder when stepping on L, returning to center when stepping on R. On the Rocking chairs you can push your hip to the side of the lead foot: R foot, R hip and L foot, L hip. ** Option: leave out the ¼ turn left to create a One Wall dance, if that better suits your dancers.
Experiment with other songs, use as floor splits or warm up. Just have fun!
