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

The 45 (The Sharpees)

Skate (Invitations / Lou Courtney)

The Thing (Lou Courtney)

The LaRue (Lada Edmund jr)

Slow Fizz (Saphires)

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

Crossfire (Sammy Sevens)

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

Any more odd ones?

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

Isn't there a Charles Colbert 45 announcing a dance called 'The Oof'.....not quite sure how that would go.

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*****

This has been invaluable down the years.......

Useful for people with no feet...

essential instructions when dancing to Bobby Treetop/E.Rodney Jones......i'm here to help.....

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.

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.

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...

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