Flash Mob Dance!

Ever heard of a Flash Mob Dance? Its when crowds of people get together a perform a routine in the middle of the street, mall, without any rehearsal! Its like a song starts playing and everyone just knows the routine! I've seen this in New York City mainly and a version of this was performed in the movie "Friends with Benefits" with Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis.





    Todrick Hall is another youtuber that caught Beyonce's eye with his flash mobdance of Beyonce's End of Time single in Target.

 Beyonce was so inspired, she personally thanked Todrick for the tribute and met him personally. Another way of using technology to bring celebrities and their fans closer together!

The Cha Cha Slide

The Cha Cha Slide was origianally written, recorded and peformed  around April 1, 1998 by Willie Perry Jr.  and was heavily inspired by the Chicago stepping movement. The Casper slide part 2 featured the Platinum Band and was recorded June 12, 1999 and is now played at numerous nightclubs all over the US and is featured as the music for step aerobic classes.

Cupid Shuffle

Cupid created the popular line dance from his song titled "Cupid Shuffle"  from his 2007 album a Time for Change. The "Cupid Shuffle is very similar to DJ Casper's Cha Cha Slide and was featured in such movies as "Jumping the Broom" and Acclaim's Dance Online. The craze has also spawned rap remixes featuring DJ Unk and Fabo.

Aint no Call.......Like the Booty Call!

Don't listen to the name alone....this dance is not that vulgar! I actually remember first learning this dance in my 9th grade gym class.

The Electric Slide

Marcia Llyneth Griffiths also known as the "Queen of Reggae" released  her song "Electric Boogie" in 1976 and released a newer version of the song in 1989 creating what is now known as the  Electric Slide. The single is the highest-selling single by a female Reggae artist and it reached number on the US Billboard Hot 100. Today, it remains an international dance craze and the most popular among family events. It is earliest line dance I've learned and reminds me of my childhood since I even had to perform this dance in gym class. I'm almost sure everyone from your younger sister to your grandmother knows this dance. And if not, it is extremely easy to learn! Check this out!

Dance

I absolutely love to DANCE especially at parties, weddings and other special occasions that involve family members and close friends! Dancing is a way to bring people together and have fun and can also be a means to stay in shape. Now with technologies such as youtube and myspace, individuals  can easily learn  the latest dance craze simply with the click of a button.  This is what I especially LOVE to do in my free time, so the next time I am at a party I won’t be lost when that WOBBLE dance comes on and everyone hits the dance floor. Check on some early dance crazes such as one of the earliest I can remember: The Achy Breaky Heart.
