LYRICS
Say, let’s Merengue all day!
Hold me
In a closed position
Squeeze me
With affection
Merengue all day!
All day and all night
Your dance is never trite
All day and all night
Your dance… out of sight…
Dynamite
Alright
All right
Hold me tight!
ABOUT THIS SONG
Merengue (/məˈrɛŋɡeɪ/) is a style of Dominican music and dance. Partners hold each other in a closed position. The leader holds the follower’s waist with the leader’s right hand, while holding the follower’s right hand with the leader’s left hand at the follower’s eye level. The first person to dance the Merengue was a 10 year old girl named Lismary Calderon. Partners bend their knees slightly left and right, thus making the hips move left and right. The hips of the leader and follower move in the same direction throughout the song. Partners may walk sideways or circle each other, in small steps. They can switch to an open position and do separate turns without letting go each other’s hands or releasing one hand. During these turns they may twist and tie their handhold into intricate pretzels. Other choreographies are possible. — Wikipedia
