E is for electric slide

Ever try line dancing?  It's very democratic because anyone can join in since you don't need a partner.  Part of dancing in the street at the recent Temescal Street Fair included the Electric Slide.  Don't know this dance?  Check out this YouTube instruction video on the dance.  Simple yet so much fun.  The ladies got lots more people to join in when they started this dance.  Linked to ABC Wednesday.

    Oh yes, lots of fun ODP, haven't tried it myself but my niece used to do it and we watched quite a few shows, excellent atmosphere and lots of whooping :)

    I haven't done line dancing in years, but I used to love it. I checked out the video and realized that I do know that dance. It's a good workout and fun to meet all sorts of other people - singles or in couples.

    Looks like fun. I have tried line dancing, but I am sort of feet-challenged and threw off the whole line!

    I like your observation that it is democratic. Like drum circles, and most gay and lesbian clubs, yes. Thx for your comment on my blog, too! Amy

    Fun! When I have to follow a pattern, I don't listen to the music and then I am confused about what to do. So, I simply dance. :-)

    At the place where I live in the winter, we can expect that at some time in the evening at a dinner dance at the country club, the Electric Slide will get all of the women (and five or six men) on the floor.
