Dance Merengue At Lewinskis

It was a lovely night at Lewinskis yesterday. All nights are actually wonderful at the moment.
Many line dancers are on the island and the tourism has come up and we are quite busy in the nights.

Friday nights are normally more quiet but last night more people showed up and the audience was just lovely.
They sang and clapped hands and danced and it was really fun to sing.

When I finished work I joined the Canarians who were at Lewinskis and we danced to the sound of 'Grupo Accorde' till 2.30 in the night.
I got home about 3am and went to bed around 4am.
Grupo Accorde is one of the best Canarian bands here on Tenerife. They are very good singers.

Maybe you would like to stay and listen to the bands that are playing at Lewinskis after me on Fridays and Saturdays + join the dancers?
The dance rules are very free and everybody dance with everybody even if you never met before. That's the dance culture here in Canarias.
The dance is mostly merengue but every now and then you also get to dance a waltz, a smoochie or a salsa. Watch and learn how to dance merengue from the video clip below.
It's very easy!

The beginners video clip above is good as a start, but later when you become familiar with

the dance you maybe start dancing like the couple in next video clip.
They have merengue classes in Casa Cultura here in Los Cristianos, for the
residentials, but it's not possible for me to go there when I work 6 nights a week.
I have only been dancing merengue for about a month and
I'm at the moment dancing something similar to the beginners video.

If you would like to get more instructions about how to dance merengue, please, search on Youtube. There are video clips where they slowly show how you should step with your legs to get the hips to sway in the right way, how to keep your hands, how the man lead you into different twirls by raising his hand in different positions etc.
