When he performs it now, do you see people jumping up and down and stomping? No!
The only thing I remember that may have caught on were the hand gestures from I Would Die 4 U. That's IT. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

What does the 'housequake dance' consist of?
I thought it was just people jumping up down making the 'house shake' | |

Were any of Prince's dances even meant to be taken seriously? I thought that they were all very tongue-in-cheek. I don't remember ever seeing anyone doing a Prince song at a school dance. I don't even remember any of them being played on radio. | |

Yeah and I've known Prince since '86 at least. | |

I believe its the jump and then step move that they do in the movie.
It was all the rage in '87! | |

NouveauDance said: It wasn't the Twist - It didn't exist outside of Prince world. Lol, this is so true. The only copying I remember doing in the 80s as a teenager was trying to do the Girls and Boys dance a lot, walking around dressing like him from Mountains, with the wide brim hat(that kept on blowning off my head) and outfit, looking like a complete twat. FUNKNROLL!  "February 2014, wow". 'dre.  | |

Well, I'm 40 - so I'll back him up. No.
I would say the same amount of people were doing the Housequake as were the BatDance, or that Thieves in the Temple Dance, etc. zero.
But I don't think starting a dance craze was Prince's intention.
Come to think of it - I do remember Bono saying something publicly positive about the Housequake, so maybe he was doing it. I'll correct my earlier statement - 1 person. | |
