Regatones is not a well-known term in the context of folk dance. It is possible that you may be referring to Reggaeton, a genre of music and dance that originated in Puerto Rico in the late 1990s. Reggaeton combines elements of hip hop, Latin American, and Caribbean music styles. The dance associated with Reggaeton often involves hip movements, body isolations, and energetic footwork.
Some of the folk dances in Visayas include the Sinulog and Kuradang from Cebu, Tinikling from Leyte, Maglalatik from Negros Occidental, and Kuratsa from Antique. These dances are characterized by lively movements, colorful costumes, and rhythmic music, often showcasing the region's cultural heritage and traditions.
