The Finger Waggle (and other silly dance moves)

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

I went to an Old Crow Medicine Show a couple of weeks ago. For those not in the know, OCMS is a bluegrass/americana band with modern sensibilities. Anyway, whilst I was “gettin down”, as it were, I remembered that great long lost dance move, the finger waggle.

You know what I’m talkin’ about. Index finger pointed out, head down, and just waggle that finger while you trot back and forth. Classic.

But I need new ways to get down (or get up, get on up-ah, depending on the circumstance). And here I enlist the dork brigade to help me liven up my act. What’s your favorite antiquated dance move?

Somebody’s got a website with antiquated dance moves.

I always liked the Axel Rose myself. However, it does seem to require a mike.

I’m not an expert on antiquated dance moves, but if you want strange dance moves, search for “haruhi suzuymia dance” on Youtube :slight_smile:

Axle Rose???

80’s???

…ulp…

Antiquated???

Good lord I feel old.

This is pretty much my whole repertoire.

I think the only thing missing is the “running man”.

That’s hella funny. Some of my friends do this one where you get two guys, face opposite directions, hook your arms together, then spin around as fast as possible while yelling loudly.

Unconventional Dance Moves.

There’s also the hand wave, where you wave your open hand in much the same fashion as the finger waggle, all while shaking your stuff in an appropriate manner.

And don’t forget that move where you put your hands on the opposite knees and switch them while moving your knees in and out. See the picture of Josephine Baker on Wikipedia’s page about the Charleston.

Well, there’s the white girl dance, with the finger up in the air.

Apparently I don’t want you to forget it.

I hear that dance move was all the rage in the 20s.

Ok, read through the list again, but this time pretend it’s a list of masturbation methods.

I’ve actually never seen the “Finger Waggle” on a dance floor. I have seen it done extremely effectively at a bikini contest at the Rosarito Beach Hotel where the crowd was screaming “Show us your tits!”. She was being very coy about the whole thing, but eventually succumbed to the crowd’s fervor.
