Iconic Dance Moves Everyone Should Know

Whether you’re at a party getting ready to bust a move or hitting the stage for a classic performance, there are some iconic moves that everyone must attempt once! These legendary moves have made a global and generational impact, leaving everyone wanting more and continuing to dance!  Here’s a look at 5 iconic dance moves that everyone should know.

#1: The Robot

This is a complete classic for those who can’t dance. The Robot has been featured in films, television, and music videos. Best suited for those who love to make others laugh or lack foot coordination, the robotic motions of the arms and torso are sure to be a hit that everyone knows and loves. Next time you hear a hot hip-hop beat, give this move a try.

#2: Vogue

While its iconic nature is credited to Madonna’s song of the same name, this move was actually popular during the Harlem ballroom scene in the late 1960s! Talk about lasting impact! The move requires a bit of floor work with emphasized movements of the wrists, legs, torso and for experts, a back-bend. For those who aren’t as experienced dancers, simple hand poses will allow you to still strike a pose, Vogue!

#3: The Moonwalk

When thinking of the moonwalk, one may immediately think of Michael Jackson. While Jackson perfected the move and convinced audiences that he truly was defying gravity, the King of Pop did not invent the move! Despite his debut of the move at Motown 25 in 1983, the moonwalk roots back to Cab Calloway in 1932. Many other artists showcased their own versions of the move prior to Jackson’s debut, but none hit it quite the way he did. Maybe you will! Next time you hit the floor, give this iconic move a spin!

#4: The Dougie

Through each decade there comes a move that redefines a culture and leaves people wanting more. In 2008, the Dougie hit the scene as the newest hip-hop craze. It is now an undeniable force in millennial culture. The group Cali Swag District released the song “Teach Me How To Dougie” to accompany the move, leaving audiences of all ages wanting to learn the slicking-the-hair-back moves.

#5: The Twist

Widely considered the first worldwide dance craze, Chubby Checker’s hit song “The Twist” took over airwaves and dancefloors in the 1960s. Still played at parties and celebrations, the Twist gathers groups together to groove their hips to the Swinging Sixties hit. It is a classic move that is not going away any time soon.

And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
