If you're gonna dance, dance it right

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
