The dance itself, often performed to a catchy and upbeat track, encapsulates a vibrant form of self-expression that transcends linguistic and geographical barriers. However, it also brings to the fore questions about cultural appropriation, particularly when elements of Afro-Latin and Latin American cultures are taken out of their original context and repurposed for global consumption.
