My guess that this move came from the Mexican cumbia step as well as the conga dance where there is a tap or kick on every 4th step.

Iboes L to R With Points
Start and end in either closed dance hold, 2-handed open, or
shine hold.
Note: The "tendu" had been heavily used in ballet and jazz dance, and it describes the free foot having a fully straightened leg out to the side with weight only on the toes...while the supporting foot has full weight. So from this...in the "tendu", you fully straighten your leg all the way to the toe, so the result is that you create a point on your feet...as if the feet are sharpened pencil ends on the floor, ready to write.

Iboes L to R With Flicks

I like this move--the flicks put a bit of "swing" into your merengue.
