“No match yet” means no filmed dance is tied to that version so far, not that nobody dances it. Dances whose music we have not identified are left out.

In their words

  • Y nosotros, en la vereda del bar, que era de tierra, íbamos a jugar a la bolita, a la moneda, la clásica rayuela, tirábamos la moneda y a rebolear, no sé si todos
