Apparently, the man best known for his "invention," the electric slide is pissed and on the prowl. Ric Silver, inventor of the Electric Slide to the extent that you can invent a cheesy line dance that is similar to several other cheesy line dances, says that the dance is actually a 22 step dance, however, recently while visiting several bar mitzvahs and weddings (probably as a spy) he noticed that most people were only doing 18 steps! I know, it sounds crazy, but NPR has never lied to me before. Anyway, this guy is UP-SET and ready to sue. So, if you're at an awkward social event where group dancing is encouraged, remember, it's:
- 1-4 Grapevine right (tap and clap on 4)
- 5-8 Grapevine left (tap and clap on 8)
- 9-12 Walks back (tap and clap on 12)
- 13-16 Rock forward & back:
- 13: Left forward
- 14: Tap right toe at the left heel, clap
- 15: Right backward
- 16: Tap left toe at the right heel, snap
- 17-20 Repeat 13-16
- 21 Left forward with 1/4 turn left
- 22 Hop onto left foot
