People love catchy dance moves. They’re fun, silly, can be a workout and can make people smile! Plus, it feels good, and some of us look good doing it (and even if you think you don’t, who cares!)! They can be challenging and sometimes they can be easy. Either way, they’re always entertaining! Anyone can create them and thanks to the advent of the internet, now anyone can make these moves popular.
There are certain moves that on catch like wildfire. There are all sorts that have graced popular culture throughout the decades, and they’re still continuing! How can we forget “The Twist” by Chubby Checker or the Macarena? And what about the Village People’s “YMCA” and Psy’s megahit, “Gangnam Style?” The list goes on!
Do you know the “floss dance?” The dance where a person clenches his/her fists and swings his/her arms from the back to the front in a flossing motion. It looks easy, but people have made comments that it takes a little technique. So when Russell Horning, a teen known as the “Backpack Kid,” first came up with the move in his bedroom and it went viral, people all over the world picked up on it. And now, it’s been brought to an IHOP in Clarksville, Indiana, USA.
Just as this 70-year-old grandma was leaving the local IHOP with her family, she was taken aback when she saw a young boy “flossing.” She was so wowed, she handed him a dollar. He insisted that she give it a shot, and it looks like she got the hang of it quick. She started a little slow and hesitant as she figured out the technique involved, but within seconds, she’s going at it and nails the move!
Her small but adoring fan base screams and cheers her on! Her daughter says, “She grew up in the 50s and 60s and lived for social dances. She’s also a retired pastor of a church for 20 years. She was praising God in the end but really feeling like the bomb herself.” I think she did a great job! Think you can do it?
