Question: Merengue is a musical form extended through all in which location, the rhythms have very little in common, except that they were commonly written for partner dances, whose basic choreography involves coordinated dancing of two partners, as opposed to individuals dancing alone, or individually, in a non-coordinated manner, and as opposed to groups ?

A solo dance is danced by an individual dancing alone, as opposed to couples dancing together but independently of others dancing at the same time, if any, and as opposed to groups of people dancing simultaneously in a coordinated manner.  Solo dancers are usually the best dancers in a group or dance school.  Most solo dancers start after about 6–7 years of dance or sooner.  Most soloists are company kids of their dance school.  They are usually in more than one dance. <SEP> Partner dances are dances whose basic choreography involves coordinated dancing of two partners, as opposed to individuals dancing alone or individually in a non-coordinated manner, and as opposed to groups of people dancing simultaneously in a coordinated manner. <SEP> Sexual racism is the "sexual rejection of the racial minority, the conscious attempt on the part of the majority to prevent interracial cohabitation."  It is the discrimination between potential sexual or romantic partners on the basis of perceived racial identity.  However, not everyone agrees that this should be classified as racism, some argue that distinguishing among partners on the basis of perceived race is not racism at all but a justifiable personal preference.  The origins of sexual racism can be explained by looking at its history, especially in the USA, where the abolition of slavery and the Reconstruction Era had significant impacts on interracial mixing.  Attitudes towards interracial relationships, and indeed marriage, have increased in positivity in the last 50 years.  In 1968, 73% of US citizens disapproved of the right to marry inter-racially, whereas this figure dropped to 17% by 2007, this illustrating the reduction in discriminatory attitudes towards interracial dating.  Irrespective of this, there still remains the issue of sexual racism in the online dating world, in that preferences appear to follow a racial hierarchy.  The exclusion of races dissimilar to one's own is a main feature of sexual racism, however a reluctance to date inter-racially predominantly spans from the discriminatory views often possessed by those in society, as opposed to purely a same-race individual preference.  Moreover, this racial discrimination also deviates into the form of the sexual dehumanisation of individuals of other racial identities.  Sharing the basic premise, originating from the 'taboo' nature of interracial relations, individuals of other racial groups are classified as forbidden sexual objects; the result of a racial fetish.  This sexualised reductionism is, concurrently, a form of sexual racism. <SEP>  The first occurrences of merengue in print in Venezuela are from scores of “dance merengue” of the second half of the 19th century.  As a dance craze, merengue acquired popularity in Caracas during the 1920s. Merengue is a musical form extended through all the Caribbean.  It is distinct from the vastly more popular Dominican merengue.  Although they share the same name, the rhythms have very little in common, except that they were commonly written for partner dancing.
