Quebradita

It is usually performed to a Regional Mexican song, specifically a lyrical charanga or instrumental mambo.

The dance style was made especially famous by the Regional Mexican subgenre of Technobanda.

[2] Compared to the brinquito or caballito dance styles, which use athletic, trotting steps, quebraditas emphasize acrobatics.

[5] George Lipsitz, author of Footsteps in the Dark: The Hidden Histories of Popular Music, wrote that in that era many dancers were unwilling or unable to do this dance because of the required strength, timing, coordination, and cooperation, and therefore the possible dangers from this dance.

[3] In the early 1990s, this dance form became popular in Los Angeles and the Southwestern United States.
