This class is perfect for anyone of any age - those with special needs, medical restrictions, or those who just want the absolute basics. The class instructor may include breaks in the class between routines to explain steps or proper form. Those wishing to stay at this level to enjoy a low-impact slower workout will love this class!

Here is a link to a clip from the movie, My Blue Heaven hwere Steve Martin and Rick Moranis do a fun merengue. The clip is a little dark, but you can see the flavor of the dance.  http://youtube.com/watch?v=J-PckWpsdYs. This most popular Merengue song is “Suavemente” by Elvis Crespo. Also the song “Hot, Hot, Hot ” by buster Poindexter. 

 Also, here is the link to Bachata Sunset, the clip that shows some really good Bachata dancing on a dock on a lake: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W58KVcBTZYA
