Dance Moves
The song had its own dance routine:
- Both arms bent at 90 degrees, elbows held at waist, both pushing to the right then to the left
- Left arm stationary, supporting right elbow, right upper arm twiddles. Then reversed.
- Bend over forwards rolling arms around each other
- Hands on waist, step forwards then backwards
- Four jumps, whilst rotating body gradually by 90 degrees.
The end of the cycle is marked by a clap, and leaves the body facing 90 degrees from the beginning.
Often, the fourth step is missed out. This is because people realise that the song is in 4/4 time and therefore believe that the dance should only have four steps.

Famous quotes containing the words dance and/or moves:
“We look at the dance to impart the sensation of living in an affirmation of life, to energize the spectator into keener awareness of the vigor, the mystery, the humor, the variety, and the wonder of life. This is the function of the American dance.”
—Martha Graham (1894–1991)
“Only beauty purely loving
Knows no discord,
But still moves delight,
Like clear springs renewed by flowing,
Ever perfect, ever in them-
Selves eternal.”
—Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
