focusing specifically on songs with dance moves that are an integral part of the production real smooth which means that hotline bling' achy-breaky heart and thriller have all been excluded [Music] along with a song such as the hokey-pokey which doesn't actually involve dancing with more of a repetitive routine no rhythm involved you do the hokey-pokey number ten crank that Soulja Boy Soulja Boy what the heck is that dance for a song about a deviant sexual practice that asked listeners to Superman oh ho the world just couldn't get enough of this hip hop dance craze [Music] least in 2007 prank that requires a bit of flexibility as one first must be able to actually cross their arms on beat certainly a difficult task for many yet there's also some fancy footwork involved to love it or hate it Soulja Boy's breakthrough single was huge did you know the dance [Music] number nine the hustle ban McCoy and the Seoul City Symphony now we're gonna go way back back into time for a song by a Washington DC native that once wrote for the Shirelles and even worked with the iconic duo of lever and Stoller let's be honest pretty much anybody can do the Hustle as the basic moves involved some pointing a sense of direction and the little arm roll [Music] [Applause] [Music] in other words your mama can do the hustle and even your granddaddy too while van McCoy wouldn't survive the disco era that was the 70s his timeless production lives on in the cinematic world and at retro themed parties [Music] number eight watch me whip/nae nae salento doesn't it sound mysterious well the maestro behind this dance is actually a teenager by the name of Richard taking a page out of Soulja Boy's book salento created a dance craze that swept the nation and had everybody and their uncle getting down with the chorus for an artist that cites Justin Bieber as an influence let's just say the moves have a modern feel as one must shake that stanky leg break said leg and then Bop of course you got a Superman that thing too [Music] number seven Time Warp The Rocky Horror Picture Show tucked away between over at the Frankenstein place and sweet transvestite this song and dance number from the cult musical Rocky Horror Picture Show never fails to make fans lose their inhibitions [Music] [Applause] with a set of simple-minded instructions Time Warp gets people into the mood and then boom the pelvic thrust despite the relatively easy dance routine you'll still find people that focus intently on the lyrics when all they really need to do is jump around and throw their hands in the air [Applause] [Music] number six the Charleston James P Johnson hey pops don't worry we didn't forget about the Charleston back in a more innocent time when just the idea of pelvic thrusting made people sweat a man named James P Johnson composed a ditty that introduced a most creative dance number on a basic level one must have a general sense of rhythm to get those legs kick into the side but once you grasp the concept a little freestyling will take your Charleston to the next level of course some individuals will forever struggle with the basic steps but hey that's what YouTube is for [Music] number five vogue Madonna contrary to popular belief Madonna didn't actually invent this style of dancing but rather showcased the concept with her iconic 1990 hit [Music] in fact bogging can be traced back to 1960s Harlem as it was african-americans at first conceptualized routine even so the titular song put the vogue inspired dance on the map and whether it's LGBTQ ballrooms or just random acts of bugging everybody seems to grasp the essence of this particular form of self-expression just say the word and strike a pose [Music] Inga Georgia copy number for Gangnam style psy Bobby all machine Johnny boo God watching and yatta dude on bad done eating the gotcha a dance so original it took over 30 nights to craft Gangnam style met such success upon its release that side couldn't have

Chubby Checker we know you know this song so what are you waiting for get up and do the twist originally recorded by Hank Ballard and the Midnighters it was when Philly based Chubby Checker got his
