Dean Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 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

Guest mel brat Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 (edited) 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***** Edited March 7, 2007 by mel brat

Djr Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 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...
Guest mel brat Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 This has been invaluable down the years....... Useful for people with no feet...
Platters 81 Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 essential instructions when dancing to Bobby Treetop/E.Rodney Jones......i'm here to help.....
Dean Posted March 8, 2007 Author Posted March 8, 2007 Forgot an obvious one: The Statue, Tommy Sands. Less obvious, there's a Cotton, by The Duvals, which is a dance but is at that border of Rock N' RnB.
Drew3 Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 (edited) Posted a similar question a while back and asked about The Humphrey Stomp!!!!!!! One of the gals on here (can't remember who now) came back with a dance list to die for! KTF. Drew. Edited March 8, 2007 by Drew3

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.

Liamgp Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 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...

Gene-r Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 The Crystals and no There never was a "The Screw II" maybe it was just a meaningful one night stand QoFxx You're right - it was followed up with a warning dance called "Do The Scratch" ( or was "The Bump" a follow-up?)
