In New York City, merengue is footing aside other variations of Latin dance music and is busting out of the Spanish clubs into slicker venues. Mayor Edward Koch showed up at a merengue concert earlier this month to try a couple of decorous hip twirls. His verdict: "This is the one dance that you can do from the moment you're born...
