Paraguayan bottle dance

One theory is that the dance was derived from the galopa folk dance, which consists of dancers performing with jugs on top of their heads, with dancers replacing jugs with glass bottles.

[2] Bottle dances performances feature female dancers wearing nineteenth century rural costumes that includes an ankle-length skirt.

[4] Bottle dance performances tend to be largely improvised with basic moves consisting of dancers with outstretched arms holding the ruffles of their skirts while maintaining the impression that there aren't any bottles.

[6][7] The bottles used by dancers are usually decorated with a tricolored ribbon resembling the Paraguayan flag or with flowers.

[9] The twentieth and thirty-second seasons of the American reality show The Amazing Race featured a task in which contestants had to perform the bottle dance while in Asunción.
