Land Of How Many Dances (we Can't Do)


Dean

Recommended Posts

Apologies if this has been done before - I don't get on-site as much as I'd like.

Got to thinking of some favourite dance titles, and does anyone know how to do these?

The 81 (Candy & The Kisses)

The 45 (The Sharpees)

Skate (Invitations / Lou Courtney)

The Thing (Lou Courtney)

The LaRue (Lada Edmund jr)

Shing-a-ling (Cooperettes)

Slow Fizz (Saphires)

The Push & Kick (Mark Valentino - flip to Walking Alone)

Crossfire (Sammy Sevens)

Gallop (Milton wright)

Several Horses, mules, jerks, dogs, ducks,...........

Any more odd ones?

Now this would be a dancing competition I'd like to see.

ATTIC SOUL CLUB, MANSFIELD, CHECK EVENTS, 7th APRIL

Vandellas / Marvin Gaye 'Hitch Hike'

Liberty Bells / 'Shing a Ling Time'

Little Stanley - 'The Stran'

I never quite knew... how to do "Boo-Ga-Loo"

and my "Temptation Walk's" like a drunk!

I once pulled a muscle, by doing the "The Hustle"

(I should never have gone "Disco Funk")

I attempted to "Swim", but my efforts were grim.

My "Duck" ended up getting plucked,

when I put out my knee dancing to Jackie Lee

and my dance moves were finally f***** :D

There are a number of funk dance 45s as well......

The Humpty Dump (The Vibrettes)

Hip Drop (The Explosions)

The Charge (Bronc-Glows)

The Funky Shing-a-ling (Milton Howard)

There are a number more, of course, but I'm too lazy to look through my records...

Posted a similar question a while back and asked about The Humphrey Stomp!!!!!!!

One of the gals on here (can't remember who know) came back with a dance list to die for!

KTF.

Drew.

Yeh Drew, kinda instict to know there's so many that I can't bring to mind. The humphrey stomp is a good start though!! Thought it may have been covered before - just idle late night curiosity. The image of a "proper" dance competion will haunt my dreams. Dean.

There never was a "The Screw II" maybe it was just a meaningful one night stand :thumbsup:

Back in the early 80s, big laughs were to be had attempting and watching others try to do the Mod dances described in Richard Barne's book like the block or the ska. Finally we got to see original mods doing their stuff on Ready Steady Go repeats a little bit later! God, some of the moves looked really corny, but i guess if you've had enough purple hearts... :thumbsup:

You're right - it was followed up with a warning dance called "Do The Scratch" :thumbsup: ( or was "The Bump" a follow-up?)

Ah! The Bump!! Loved That One Indeed!
