[00:00] Hello, dancer. Merengue Steph is super fun, super bouncy. Let's break it down.

[00:03] First thing I'd like you to avoid is to have clanky knees, meaning you're locking in your

[00:07] knees and resting on your joints. This might cause injuries, okay? So make sure you're using

[00:11] muscles. And even at your straightest point, your knee is not back, but rather forward to

[00:15] prevent injuries. Now, with those spring-like knees, when we bend and extend, our hip swings

[00:19] naturally side to side. Just avoid collapsing of the torso. Keep your center perpendicular to the

[00:23] floor. This way, your hip swerves are clean, okay? The second thing to know is we actually

[00:28] press into the floor and settle on the same leg. Press into the floor, settle on the same leg.

[00:33] Again, do not collapse on the same leg. Just settle your weight on it, okay? Let your muscles be bouncy

[00:37] and spring-like. Also, be mindful of the anterior pelvic tilt, all right? Keep your core perpendicular

[00:42] to the floor. You can either walk around in place or do any shape such as diagonals, box step, or even

[00:48] basic. Here, to the music, I will be doing merengue cadence. You are welcome to add your taps to do the

[00:53] bachata basic cadence. Please try this step first slowly with quality and only then

[00:58] add speed. When you're ready, come join me in the footwork challenge. There are individual breakdown

[01:02] videos or the entire challenge. I'll see you there. Good luck and bye-bye.
