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-
