Latest dance in Jamaica

I can barely keep up with this one.

As a result I need your help here. If you know some dances that swept Jamaica for a season list it here, if possible list the year too.

How many of them do you know how to do?

1)  Armstrong - 1989

2)  Bogle - 1990 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpl9xg6zVAg

3)  Butterfly -92

4)  No linga-2002 -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWkdLxD-i7I

5)  Willie bouncce/Wakki dip - 2013 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r038-tDd8eI


6)   Breadfruit -Roast or Fry -2016 -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGdtxQM8TuI


I know these dances may be old, that is why I need your help.  

The Jamaican people are very creative. Couple years ago an interview was conducted about a situation in St. Thomas (a parish in Jamaica) and something was said by the interviewee, "the bus can swim" and a music video was made out of this interview, and a subsequent dance made for the song. See the links below.

Jamaican's are creative geniuses.

Check out the video and the dance that accompany it.

Muisc video.
