Hey Macarena!


It would be crazy to make this performance and ignore this one, then again it is a bit crazy to make this performance full stop so that logic doesn't follow... Yes, the Macarena. And here they are doing a performance of it on a beach. One of the qualities of this performance of it that is quite attractive is that it is done as a performance for a public rather than danced in a social situation for the benefit of the participants only. The fact that it is a circular dance makes it work far better as a social dance but they show how it can be made into an act here. There is also quite a difference between the dancers here and the typical dancers, here they are professionals and they are camping it up for the cameras.Of all the songs we do this is probably the one that is the most known, I have spoken to people in three continents who all know it. It is also a bit more contemporary than the 80s dances and so has wider recognition between present generations. It is brutally simple but allows room for individual expression.
