For the fun fact project, I decided to choose the Dominican Republic. Merengue is a dance that originates from the Dominican Republic! Press any of the moving sprites to find out a fun fact about Merengue. Here are the fun facts in the project: - Merengue is a dance style that originated in the Dominican Republic. It is a joyful and fast-paced dance with simple steps. - There's a legend that the Merengue dance started from a war hero who returned from battle with a broken leg and still continued to dance but with a limp. - Merengue is the national dance in the Dominican Republic. - The dress Christy is wearing is the traditional dress for Merengue. The colors resemble the Dominican Republic flag. Red symbolizes the loss from fighting for national independence. Blue represents liberty. White symbolizes peace and unity. -----Credits----- Music is from https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/youtube/zvuOC9Z6YDQ The highly detailed vector sprite was traced from an image on Google.
