Another step of Merengue that is common in Zumba is, moving your hips to the right and then stepping on the left foot. Then move your hips to the left and step on the right foot.

Stand with your feet apart. Take a big step with your left foot and tap your right foot next to your left foot while leaning to the right. Do the same thing with your right foot and lean to the left. In another move, you stand with your feet apart in a wider stance and then jump back with your feet together. Again jump to stand with your feet apart, followed by jumping and standing with your feet together.
