In which country did the 1990s dance "The Macarena" originate?

The Macarena is a Spanish dance from Spain and it's performed to the song titled “Macarena” by the Spanish pop duo Los Del Rio. The dance involves a rhythmic pattern of arm, hand, and hip movements in time to the song, ending with a 90 degree rotation of the body.

Macarena is also a Spanish woman’s name that has its roots in Andalucia’s Moorish past. With the dance, it's popular among all ages and can be done in a group line or solo. This dance added to Spain's well known reputation as a country famous for its rich culture, history, and cuisine, while also being located in Southwestern Europe and boasting of a stunning diversity of natural landscapes and wildlife.

The song "Macarena" was originally recorded for Los Del Rio's 1993 album "A mí me gusta". A dance remix by the electro-pop group Fangoria was a success in Spain, and a soundalike cover version by Los del Mar became popular in Canada. Another remix by Miami-based producers (the Bayside Boys), added a section with English lyrics and expanded the song's popularity, initially causing it to peak at No. 45 on the US "Billboard" Hot 100 in late 1995.
