* Dancing & Learning to Dance is very personal and therefore does not have a fixed or set pattern that fits everyone.
The approach to learning (or teaching) dance should therefore take on a personal or bespoke approach if it is to get an 'individual' or 'student' to be able to perform similar, complimentary or even better than other dancers ... Learning to dance is therefore more about how one can be exposed or learn to:
- Understand Fundamental Technique - Posture, poise, rhythm movement, etc., which should come before, and is much more important than, learning a sequence of dance steps or moves;
- Fundamental technique begins with understanding Music, Rhythm, Timing & Musicality . . . โwhat you are hearing and dancing to?โ;
- Enjoy Dancing . . . but even more . . . listen to and enjoy the music, ... as dancing (Latin Dance in particular) is still all about the music;
- Learn to Dance โFREE-STYLEโ TECHNIQUE & FORMAT to make your learning process quick & simple through your understanding of Rhythm & Timing (musicality), Execution, Lead & Follow.
We believe that after injecting these ingredients . . . we can then lay 100โs of โnew movesโ and "dance sequences" on our students with confidence that their dancing can be better appreciated and mastered.
Our class philosophy and focus is therefore on ensuring that students have fun learning to dance and even more fun and confidence to enjoy dancing while executing all the new stuff they learned . . . Join our NewsLetter / Chatroom:

"๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฎ๐" . . . as this topic shows a need for deeper insight, or at least another perspective, I am urged to offer the benefit of my experience having developed and used a system for teaching the Latin Dances for some time, and for particularly establishing a core structure of Merengue (Meringue), Salsa, Rumba & Cha Cha (Latin Style) as the foundation for Latin Dancers to truly enjoy what Latin Dancing has to offer.
That being said, I believe that Merengue (& Rumba) is at the root of all of the Latin Dances and still remains at the base of those styles that have returned or have been further developed . . .
. . . I believe that Merengue, if properly taught, is still a key foundation for understanding, rhythm, timing, partnering, Lead & Follow, as well as provide more advanced Moves (being at the source or genesis of the โMovesโ Concept).
With the proper tutoring of the spectrum of Merengue โTechnique & Stylingโ, a new dancer can learn to dance any of the other Latin Dances with ease and become much more confident and proficient in many more dances and in the shortest possible time (I will always welcome challenges on this fact)!
๐๐จ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐:
๐. Merengue is not merely or only a beginners dance, as many โadvancedโ Dancers & Tutors should seek to learn more about and be able to demonstrate, that they can truly master merengue on the dancefloor before talking it down or dismissing it . . . Challenge yourself to a Merengue Dance-Off if you will . . . !
๐. Merengue is the true teacher of Partnering, Rhythm & Timing Technique, Balance, Speed & Control, Shines, etc., . . . Try dancing Merengue by yourself and see the challenges without a partner to focus your skills (a true test of Partnering)! . . . or try learning and teaching all the moves you believe are from Salsa, Bachata or the other styles and you will find that many, if not most, come from Merengue roots.
๐. Finally, True Musicality can be developed from proper teaching technique based on the understanding of basic merengue movement . . . Note that any of the other latin dance styles can be performed by listening and finding the respective rhythms in the Simple Merengue Beat . . . Try dancing Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba, Cha Cha, etc., by using the Basic Merengue Music Rhythms and finding the respective beats in the music . . . the best test for learning to listen and dance to the music.
As you will expect (๐ด๐ช๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถโ๐ท๐ฆ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ถ๐จ๐ฉ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ง๐ข๐ณ), that I can go on showing that Merengue is a much more advanced, elegant and sophisticated dance style than you now witness as the simple Marching Steps (Ballroom Style) executed on the Dancefloor by โAdvancedโ Dancers as well as many โTutorsโ alike . . . !
I hope to not step on anyone toes here, but if one truly seeks out learning the Merengue and its Technique, Moves and Styles, . . . you will maybe find an even more fun and expert dance style than you currently see in the Salsa, Bachata and even the perceived newer latin dance styles.
