Btw, thanks, Scrump for posting those dance names to this thread.

If we count those dances you listed, including the individual dance names that were mentioned in the "Jonah's Band" song, but excluding the dances from that excerpt I posted from the World Dance Central glossary of dance names {since they may be a composite of different dances}, I've counted the following dances that were listed on this thread so far:

1.Mobile Buck

2.Skinning {killing} The Cat

3.Coonjaint

4.Juba

5.Jump Jim Crow

6.The Cakewalk

7.The Alligator

8.The Jerk

9.The Cha Cha

10.The Cha Cha Slide

11.The Stroll {excluding the fraternity/sorority party walks]

12.The Hokey Pokey

13.The Bunny Hop

14.The Locomotion

15.The Bird

16.Mashed Potato

17.The Monkey

18.The Watusi

19.The Dog

20.Walkin' the Dog {assuming that this is different from "The Dog"

21.Funky Chicken

22.The Pony

23.The Twist

24.The Hucklebuck

25.The Limbo

26.Limbo Rock {assuming that this isn't the same as the limbo}
