The lack of mention for Macarena is beyond my understanding.
Macerana is more of a cultural zeitgeist dance. Not really music video from a popular singer per se.
Because if we add Macerana then:
Teach Me How To Doggie, Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae), Baby Shark, even songs as old as Let’s Twist Again are more cultural zeitgeist dance and not really tied with a
**specific image, costume, etc.** of a music video. Like even without seeing/watching the exact music video AND/OR a popular singer those songs would’ve still had a recognizable dance, ya get what i’m saying.xX

I don’t know how it was in other countries, but I was a kid in Lima, Peru, when the Macarena first came out. I might be misremembering things, but I don’t recall learning the Macarena dance from the music video. It was more of a thing you were taught at parties by your friends, relatives, or kid party entertainers.
In fact, I remember watching the Bayside Boys remix video for the first time years later and wondering why they were doing the steps differently from how I’d learned them…
