What does the Puerto Rican Mami meme mean, and what else is it called?
Updated:
Short answer
It is a friendly two-person dance routine: arms out, knees up, swap sides, bend low and laugh. The name comes from the tag the clips carry, not from anything in the moves. Search terms: Puerto Rican Mami, Puerto Rican Mami dance, duo walkway dance and Puerto Rican Mami AI.

What the video is about
Two people having fun in step with each other. Remakes keep the structure and swap the cast for friends, couples, family or pets. Anyone can use it, and it says nothing about who the dancers are.
Questions people ask
Is it the same as other duo dances?
No. Many duo dances exist. This template follows one specific clip, so its timing matches that one.
Why do they bend over at the end?
It is the closing beat of the clip. At the end both lean forward, hands on knees, wobble low and spring up laughing.
Is the trend tied to a language or country?
No. Nobody has to speak, so it works in any language.
Make a Puerto Rican Mami video of your own
Add two photos and the pair of you dance side by side under a night walkway, swap places and finish bent low, laughing. Nothing renews, and the finished video carries no watermark.
