Samba – Its a carnival dance, dance in a man and woman pair, on an 8 count. Dress is bright colours, short dress for ladies with lots of sequence and sparkly as hell. Very fun. Its still a carnival dance in Buenos Aires and also danced on the competative dance floor as part of a dance routine for international and social competitions in Latin American dancing.

The merengue is also a carnival dance, that is danced in a counter clockwise motion, lady facing outside floor, and gent facing inside floor. It is usually danced in a man and lady pair, but if danced in a group, partners can be exchanged while dancing. Its also a 8 count dance. Dancewear is short dresses with lots of movement. i think its a Rio dance as well, but I’m not sure. It is danced in dance schools today as part of a social syllabus, as well as on the streets of Buenos Aires.

Good luck

Here are a couple links that should help you out. Merengue can easily be done as a mixer (switching partners). I haven’t seen this done in Samba, which in the ballroom world, is usually just one man and one woman. Both would be Latin dances, and a hot little dress would be in order.
