The article claims it's named after a town.

Given that there's a dance move called a New York, and another called an 
American spin, that's not so surprising I guess.

Remind me to never *ever* miss 3 dance classes in a row ever again... I 
turned up again afterwards, and they're like "OK, now let's do this 
dance", and I'm like "WTF is a Botafogo?! HELP!"

Um... no.

And the dance move involves rubbing your toe on the ground like you're 
squishing a cockroach. ;-)
