Here is one of the first one I did with my friends at home, as a very young teen,

The only dance I know is one I do when el baño está ocupado.

Not sure I've heard of that one.

Not sure I've heard of that one.

...when el baño está ocupado means "when the bathroom is occupied" in Spanish. One night I was sitting in the living room watching TV and someone comes to my door. It was the lady across the hall. We always say hello, but our conversations are pretty limited as I don't speak much Spanish and she doesn't speak any English. She has four kids, was doing the dance saying "Los baños están ocupados por los niños!" (The bathrooms are occupied by the children.) I knew that baños means bathroom, and she was pointing in that direction, so I pointed at it too, and off she she went. When ya gotta go, ya gotta go.

About an hour later, she came over and gave me two delicious quesadillas with hamburger and cheddar cheese. She had one of her boys with her that speaks English and he said that she wanted to give me them to say thank you.

I would love to be able to do this dance. I've tried it. I think you need to be outside, where you can kick up some dirt, to practice.
