What are some of your favorite dances from back in the day?

Some of mine are:

The Gigolo
The White Horse
The Whip
The Smurf
The Prep
The Cabbage Patch
The Swoop
The Snake
The Jerry Lewis
The Wave
The Glide
The Fluke

I've been trying to bring back "The Bump" for years!!!

Can't for forget "The Robot." I think MJ single-handedly put that one on the map.
And before it was called the "Electric Slide" I knew it as "The Bus Stop." Oh, can't forget the "Funky Four Corners."

See, now this takes me back to a time when my aunt and other grown folk would ask us youngsters "What's the latest dance?" People don't say that anymore, do they?

I love The Chicken Dance.. Flap ya Wings and ya do this thing with ya feet..Lol.

The Roger Rabbit
The Running Man
The Snake
The Penn State
The Cabbage Patch
The Tootsie Roll
The Butterfly

All of the dances I learned 10 years ago on the workout video by MTV's The Grind.

You know what dance I could never do. That Kid 'N' Play dance where you hold your foot with your right hand and jump over it. I couldn't even do it in a pool!

JANFAN4L said:

wow. I could do that one, but clearing my leg was always a challenge. I also wanted to learn to pop lock, but no one ever wanted to teach me. I guess that would be like giving up the secret of their success... LOL!

ANOTHER FAVOURITE OF MINE IS...

The Geriatric.

papaa said:

didn't P call this one the Ozzy "Ozz-burn"????
or was that the "Wooden Leg"?....

OH

Really? Come to think about it the moves are quite similar except The Geriatric requires a zimmer frame and a pacemaker to get the party stompin'.
