One legend has it that this Caribbean dance form was the unwitting invention of General Maringie, a war hero whose novel dance style was the result of attempting to dance with  a limp! Now a respected form, merengue is traditionally danced to a cheek to cheek, with a slight swaying of the hips to an intoxicating beat. The perfect choice for an evening that will transport you to the Islands.
