Genius of the absurd, the Korean singer PSY has managed to impose his song on the world but even more the choreography that goes with it. All that is required is to move the pelvis more or less in rhythm, then to reach out, lifting your hands to your shoulders, behind your head, then on the hips and finally on the buttocks, all the while gesticulating in circular movement before making a small jump like a goat and finally reproducing the sequence to infinity. It quickly became very popular because of its easy moves. Macarena - Los Del Rio (1995)Ī worldwide success in 1995, the "Macarena" from Los Del Rio owes its choreography to dancer Mia Frye. Despite adult-like sensuality, Chico and Roberta help interpret the song (the first becoming a Protestant priest and the second a veterinarian). Lambada - Kaoma (1989)ĭuring the summer of 1989, the world was subject to the "Lambada" of Kaoma, and in particularly to the dance that summoned the sun and sizzling sensuality with glued-tight bodies and suggestive hip movements. A sense of rhythm is also essential, less risk of appearing completely ridiculous. Mashed Potato Time - Dee Dee Sharp (1962)ĭee Dee Sharp was the first to make reference to this dance in 1962, which gained popularity in the wake of the twist popularized just the year before by Chubby Checker and his " Let's Twist Again." Great flexibility in the ankles is required for this dance as your ankles will certainly take a beating by the permanent twists required to gracefully execute this song. Whatever it may be, here are five songs with infamous dance moves that will be passed on to posterity.

Sometimes it’s an innovative dance move, sometimes wild gesticulation that makes the dance become more popular than the song. Just as some songs entertain the ears, others entertain the eyes and become classics thanks not to the music but rather their illustrious dances.
