How To Dance — And Pronounce xdnf - ^ - Basic merengue: step-drag four times to man's left. The man starts with his left foot, the woman, her right. Then (below), they move forward ... 'The MERENGUt The merengue (a dance, not a pie) is danced, according to a native of Trini¬ dad (where it originated) “as though you were walking up a hill sideways with a ball and chain around one foot.” Arthur Murray, who has shown it on The Arthur Murray Party, pre¬ dicts it will become a craze as soon as people learn how to pronounce it. TV GUIDE hereby offers its aid. The “r” is rolled, “e’s” are soft as in bet, the accent is on the en and the gue is pronounced gay. Murray describes it as “a lame-duck movement with no tricks.

Using step-drag, man then turns, stepping with left foot. There are many varia¬ tions. Here the couple moves back and forth, in a sort of zig-zag pat¬ tern, as diagram shows.
