Mexican and Latino border dances found at the U.S.-Mexico border include cumbia norteña, waila, western or country swing, nortec, and quebradita. The Quebradita was one of the most hated dances in America, especially among adults. In 2007, Quebradita performed at the Mexico Pavilion in Winnipeg, Canada at a festival called Folklorama. Some YouTube viewers claimed that Quebradita was “100% Mexican,” while others claimed that Quebradita was “not a traditional Mexican folk dance.” Over time, Quebradita has come to be recognized as a symbol of modern Mexico. The dancers wear gorgeous western costumes and perform acrobatic moves with catchy music. Quebradita inspired people to join dance clubs and attend events in their free time. Quebradita combined dance styles such as ballet folkloreco, coridita, nortegna, and cumbia, but at the same time Lo Ranchero, which references rodeo and charida, and a borderline aesthetic based on bright, bold juxtapositions. I used lascatismo. Victor and Gabby, a dance duo from Mexico City and leaders of the Salsa Conclave Company, presented their own unique dance mix combining salsa and quebradita, which became a trend in urban dance and became mainstream. It permeated popular culture. Has Quebradita become popular culture? If so, this could prove that commercialization has either killed or changed tradition. Pasito Durangense was born in Chicago in the early 2000s out of a Quebradita zeal, transforming the term “border dance” into something far removed from the actual US borders. A more explicit discussion of immigration was added in Durang Gyunse’s video showing the rural United States, in contrast to Quebradita, which used the same musical style and dance as Quebradita and depicted a fictional connection to Mexico.

Rivera Cervera considers positioning classes on Latin and Mexican sex at a queer Latino nightclub in Phoenix, Arizona. He seeks to trace the more fluid aspects of intrinsically intersecting social geographies by identifying the regional practices of inclusion and exclusion that determine belonging at the local, national and transnational levels. Masu. These are the points where Queer Latinidad is clearly felt as and in performance. How class differences are expressed in terms such as fresa'',metrosexual”, chusma'',malicon”, joto'' andputo”, How do sexual and disadvantaged men operate in the homosexual realm and the presence of transgender/gender/sexuality in society? ?“x” has evolved into an assertion of heresy among the diverse Latinx population of the United States. Scholars, however, have questioned whether x actually escapes gender dichotomies, or whether latinidad is due to generational development. Is it a passing trend like Latin@? (See Milian 2013) Or is it progress towards a place of our own making and communicating, manifestly embodying an ever-fluid and imprecise identity and language? Marriage equality, transgender promote greater inclusiveness around LGBTQ rights such as public toilets, HIV/AIDS, homosexual violence, homophobia, heterosexism and masculinity?
