"y'all wanna jump out in the aisle and dance it's cool"

what are folk's favourite prince dance moves. mine would be during housequake on SOTT live where he shuffles along on his back before doing an impossible looking rollover into the splits, up into a spin and a james brown shuffle, totally gravity defying!!

don't play me...i'm over 30 and i DO smoke weed....

My favorite will always be when he slid across the stage and under Cat, ripped off her tutu, and came up with it in his mouth.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

He's not bad now. But as a youngster, he was amazing. Yes he subscribed to James

Brown moves with the stage splits and twirrlly spins. He added his own (Cream)

to come up with some great entertainment. In Daddy Pop probably he made his greatest

moves.

His moves at times seem burlesque which I don't like, but then I do not, repeat, not.

crave 'sexy', just quality. Prince is at his best in just moving on and across the

stage. Piano moves are good when he gracefully walks off the piano after singing on it.

Prince is the great communicator. He moves his audience and moves with

his audience. Question of U performance when he strolled across the stage until the

one beat of the drum, then almost jumped in response to that beat. Moving with his guitar,

climbing on the piano after playing etc are all what makes him the great.

So I like the phrase movement/motion art rather than 'dance'.

cool

prince wasn't a great dancer, he was a PHENOMONAL dancer. check out irresistible bitch/ possessed during syracuse 85, his moves are mindblowing!!

This is mine also. The best move ever. It seems like a camera trick.

I actually agree. He's not a bad dancer any degree, but I wouldn't say I'm missing anything not seeing him dance biggrin
