My sense is that while this is fun and excellent in its own way, their ballroom training (in merengue and even more in other styles) is getting in the way of their appreciating and dancing what I'll call real merengue. Perhaps they are trying to organically evolve merengue - which is allowed and could be good - bringing your personality and creativity to a dance is good - but only if they appreciate real merengue! I myself am far from qualified to say what is real merengue. Any recommendations for videos of real merengue? Thanks. (I won't criticize suggestions.)

@@JonathonNeville I'm sure people think ballroom merengue is fun and of course people are allowed to dance however they want. I just think it looks "unnatural" and kind of awkward. Here is an example of "normal" merengue: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWKzk59nYtShe7s

That’s not entirely true. Merengue originated from other Latin countries such as colombia. Dominican Republic adapted the dance style. And shakira very much dances merengue. I don’t think it’s very fair of u to label a countries heritage when we really don’t know where’s it’s from. Happy indigenous people day.

@aromiyook32124 жыл бұрын
Cause this isn't the club. This is ballroom. Completely two different settings and expectations. Yes, it's not a traditional merengue song, but they never claimed it was- it's an interpretation. This song has a merengue beat you can do the merengue basic march to. It's the same with any other Latin dance. The salsa and Bachata you dance with your cousins growing up or at the local club is NOT the same as how professional Latin dancers or ballroom dancers dance salsa bachata. (And yes, there is a distinction between professional Latin dancing and professional ballroom.)
