Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Thread of 1000 Dances
So, since I already cheated by adding the names of dances mentioned on a previous Mudcat dance thread that I started,I might as well cheat again.

Here's some additional dances that were mentioned on the Dances Known And Unknown thread:

71.The Grind

72.The Samba

73.The March of The Mods

74.La Yenka

75.The Macarena

76. Square dances {there are a number of posts in that thread about Square dancing}

77.The Madison

78.Knees Up Mother Brown {there are a number of posts in that thread about this song/dance}

79.Gay Gordons

80 Moshing {is this a step or a dance name?}

81. Teddy Bears' Picnic {I'm aware that this is a song, but is it also a specific dance?}

82.The Creep

83.The Palais Glide

84.The Floral Dance (or Furry Dance)

85.Sardanas

86.Kalamatianos

85. Okey Cokey {listed here with the assumption that this may be different from #12, The Hokey Pokey; btw are both of these dances as well as children's games?}

86. Charleston

87.The Buzzard Lope {this may have been a religious dance}

88.Bamboule

89.The Pigeon Wing

90.The Buck & Wing

91.The Conga

92.Chicken Noodle Soup

93.The Jive {which I'm assuming is different than handjive ??; Btw, I'm assuming that "handjive" is a referent for handclapping that I think has been retired since at least the early 1960s among African Americans}

94.The Strathspey

-snip-

This list may have mixed up general dances with specific dance steps. This list may also have left off specific dance steps or other dances that were mentioned.
