The Myanmar Coup Dance Instructor meme features Khing Hnin Wai, a physical education teacher who unintentionally captured the start of the 2021 Myanmar military coup while filming an aerobics routine. As she dances to upbeat music in front of the Parliament building, armored vehicles and military convoys are seen rolling in the background to stage a takeover. The video went viral globally for its surreal juxtaposition of high-energy exercise and grim political reality. It is now used as a template to represent someone blissfully unaware or intentionally ignoring massive problems, disasters, or chaotic events happening right behind them.
