At the weekend, I watched a countdown of pop dance crazes of the past 40 years on BBC3.
It got me wondering, what are your guilty pleasures on the dance floor?
Was it following all the dance moves with Steps or perhaps Line Dancing to Billy Ray Cyrus? I am sure that most of us have been to a wedding reception or other family gathering where everyone joins in to YMCA, Cha Cha Slide or The Macarena.
I will admit to drunkenly trying to row along to 'Oops Upside Your Head' by The Gap Band.
Now it is your turn to confess all. You know you want to!

I watched a part of that brilliant programme too. Some of what I got to watch was simply quite hilarious and wonderful to reminisce about...
Thankfully, I never did the rowing dance to "Oops Upside Your Head" but as for the YMCA and the Jeffrey Daniel of Shalamar fame "Backslide" (later to become the Michael Jackson "Moonwalk"), well yeah, tried that a couple of times on the dancefloor and was not even drunk!
Got the Beyonce "Crazy in Love" moves down to a "T" though. (*proudly pats herself on the back and contemplates a trip down memory lane later on that one...*).

Dancing to "Nutbush City Limits" by I Can Turn a Corner was my teenage guilt. The same dance was also performed to a host of Status Quo songs.
Oh the embarrasement.
Although I am not guilty I can't believe that no one has admitted to danicng Agado do do!!!!!!!!!!
I have taken a bet that I will learn to dance " Single ladies " by Beyonce.
(Am finding it quite hard)
I still remember the moves! Summer holidays as a young lad - oh those were the days.
Dance crazes come and go for sure. I was at an Ü30 disco last year and everyone was far too cool for school. I can't remember the last time people joined in any dance other than YMCA.
Oh and being Switzerland has exposed me to both the Fliegerlied and Cowboys und Indianer. Oh, and I nearly forgot das Rote Pferd...
