el perreo

The hyper forbidden dance of the perreo, or as it is known in the US, the "booty dancing" was supposedly invented in Puerto Rico (they also wrongly believe that the chupacabras is from there). A brief explanation of this dance is the following: scantly clad girls thrust hips and buttocks as if trying to expel a tapeworm by the mere contraction of their intestines (for more information about the dance, click here).

El chavo del ocho. Kiko's interpretation is at least 30 years old. His discordant juts of extremities resemble the chuntaro style, take close note of the chest... its lineage is much more ancient ...


500 years ago the matachines were already jumping to the huateque. Follow the steps, the head movements, the peculiar feathers... we can find its beginning....



In the wild turkey's mating dance (Meleagris gallopavo) which is about 28 million years old! (give or take)




Therefore, our study has concluded that the perreo is actually a dance for the elderly whose origin can be traced to fornicating salvage birds, so the correct name should be the guajoloteo or (in English) gobble gobble dancing.
