Dance Crazes

May 7th 2010 04:21
Dance
Sure beats ballroom . . .
For those who throught the 70s disco scene and its incarnations of dance were original - think again.

While it's true the 70s will be forever linked to John Travlota's stylised Saturday Night Fever we were also have to live the with emabarrassment of 'Doing the Nutbush', 'The Carwash' and "The Bump'.


In fact while disco was huge, we saw similar criminal performances in the 50s and 60s (and no doubt much much earlier than this as well) with variations of the shake, the bop and the twist.

OK - so 70s 'survivors' also had to contend with stretch clothes and light reflecting fabrics that shone under disco lighting - but was that any better or worst than the garb that 80's break dancers decked themselves out in?

From 20s flappers through to 90's 'vogue' - the weird and wonderful have graced our dance floors, for better or worse.

But can you come up with some of the crazier ones?
