@guigoulu not sure - think he just kinda got a bit of a "shuffle" happenin'........lol

[porridgeeveryday]

So I was trying to remember why we danced like this. That answer is coke... lots of coke.

@guigoulu We didn't have a name for it, but it is a little similar to a current side was shuffle the weight distribution is different to a shuffle though. I must confess it was a favourite of mine in the late 80s at clubs... showing my age, but 1979 I was a little young yet for clubbing, but it didn't stop me from learning ALL the moves LOL

[gangoolie68]

@gangoolie68 actually my daughter's friends were shocked that I could teach them "the shuffle" and doing it sideways and all sorts of variations - they think its a NEW move LMAO - it's been around for decades, I think all the current moves are actually loosely based in the 20s charlston and other steps from that era and the charleston or something like it was also an 80s step too

hi tommy, good ol days wernt they...

[BreezesofConey]

I love it! They all have blue collar jobs! I miss those days when people had real jobs. Julie Brown is just amazing. All these trendy young ppl wearing jumpsuits and shit need to watch this and see how to wear those clothes cause they just have no clue.

[greigypeg]

[metamorphosis67]

Julie Brown from Wales is the same Julie Brown that later became Downtown Julie Brown, the VJ on MTV

@1stonewall01 Dance ? I didn't know cocaine gave people epileptic seizures. How come all those hippies with their mountains of coke like Eric Clapton & David Crosby & Ozzy Osbourne never turned into disco dancing monkeys ? All these guys combined aren't a hair on John Travolta's ass. Travolta danced with style, these people are just doing aerobics.

I do hope that the competitors get to see themselves again. I just wish we could see their kids/grandkids faces when they first see it.
