About This Trend
Macarena is a popular song and dance made famous by the Spanish duo Los Del Rio in the 1990s, particularly through the Bayside Boys remix.
The song and dance are trending due to a recent scandal involving a teacher who was fired for inappropriate behavior, including making students dance the Macarena during class. Additionally, the dance has resurfaced on platforms like TikTok with new challenges, and Charo, a 70s icon, has claimed she helped popularize the dance in the U.S.
