Answer
HI Valesca! I really can not answer this for you. To my knowledge there is no "national" dance in Aruba, Just like I could not even say what the "national" dance is in the United States. Like here, Arubans enjoy a wide variety of music, and dance to the rythyms as we do here. Reggae and calypso music is more dominant, as is a few versions of salsa, as it is a carribean island. Of the many years I have been visiting there, I have heard such a wide variety.I would try to go to a few search engines, and maybe you can get a more defined answer, if there is one. Good luck on your project!!!
