right about 2:14 in this Kurtis Blow clip on Soul Train he does this dance

I saw Prince do the same dance once in concert.

Anyone know the name of it?

Sorry I do not know much about old skool dance moves.



also, never knew Kurtis was a disco artist

I'm more interested in the girl at 2:23, she was SUPER happy to be on camera.

I Love this song...I started watching the video but my computer is too slow so I never got to the dance move.

At 2:22 there is a dude that reminds me of Karl Lake doing the robot on the Chappelle. I wonder if Dave got that idea from Soul Train?

Always cracks me up to watch Dave, then out of the blue Karl Lake comes in doing the robot.

That's a common dance move that just about anyone would do when grooving.

Prince has NEVER borrowed anything from Curtis.

That was a robot. The yellow sweater and bowtie look was all the rage for automatons in those days.

I love that song.

I doubt that P copied Kurtis Blow but this looks like a dance we did in the mid 70s called the Watergate.

I don't know what they called it in Cali.

yeah....i know he did not copy Kurtis but that move he does from time to time when he is trying to do old dance moves

Watergate?

interesting.....thanks

i looove that song =]

and that dancing he was doing seems to be something anyone would do.

Kurtis wasnt a disco artist,but since recorded rap first appeared in 1979 , all the rappers were rapping over popular disco music ie Rappers Delight (from Chics Good Times) , Freedom (from Get Up And Dance by Freedom) etc etc etc.

just be happy he didn't copy VanDamme's dance moves: http://www.fluxw.com/damme_dancing2.gif

this show reminds me of solid soul show over here in the UK..used to love watch tht show...
