The Dominican Republic is widely know for its contagious rhythms and lively dance moves.  We had dthe opportunity to learn how to dance merengue and bachata, both popular dance styles that originated in the Dominican Republic. 

Here are a few tips to keep in mind when dancing merengue or bachata:

1. Keep your torso static.  Its all about the hips!

2. No jumping.  Avoind bouncing around the dance floor.

3. Enjoy the music and have FUN!
