Do you remember what it was called even? We just called it The Dutch Jump Dance but my guess it is not the native dance of your people

It's called jumpstyle. I found this video which is pretty good (at 1:20) https://youtu.be/aja2Wlp9OD0

The other dances are also very well executed. I think jumpstyle worked so well as a fad dance is because it's easy to learn, variation is pretty basic, you can somewhat blend in if you can keep a rhythm. Whereas tectonik is fucking awesome but you look like an idiot unless you're crazy good and wayyy confident.
