Cupid Shuffle Dance Description:

Danced to the song of the same name by the hip-hop artist Cupid, the Cupid Shuffle has become a very popular dance. The dance is a hip-hop variant of country line dancing and is extremely simple to perform, especially since all the steps are sung in the lyrics:

“To the right, to the right, to the right, to the right” (Slide your body to the right.)

“To the left, to the left, to the left, to the left” (Slide your body to the left.)

“Now kick, now kick, now kick, now kick” (Kick your feet out front using alternating feet.)

“Now walk it by yourself.” (Pretend to walk in place, sometimes adding a dipping motion.)

The dance quickly gained popularity at nightclubs due to its easy-to-learn nature and catchy beat. Even the most novice dancer can perform it by the end of the second chorus. Many have compared the dance to the Cha Cha Slide, which was released in 1996 by DJ Casper of Chicago. The Cupid Shuffle began its rise to popularity in Lafayette, Louisiana, Cupid’s home town.

Electric Slide

In its original form, the dance had 22 steps, as follows:

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, snap
15: Right backward
16: Tap left toe at the right heel, clap

17-20 Repeat 13-16
21 Left forward with 1/4 turn left
22 Hop onto left foot with right leg in the air to start again

The Electric Slide is actually a variation step: in place of the grapevine, you step right and slide your left foot over to it.

Variations involve turns during the grapevine, walking backward, a spin on 22, various ways of clapping, and type of steps.

Silver gave the dance 22 steps because his birthday is January 22.[2] The "broken" phrasing was a conscious decision. It introduces a certain diversity of accents which makes the pattern less repetitive. Some dance venues teach variations with extra or removed steps to make the dance fit the 4/4 phrasing, with 16 (The Freeze), 18 (the way most have learned the Electric Slide) or 24 (cowboy motion, cowboy boogie) steps.

15. Roll hips with hands on buns.

16. With small jump turn 1/4 turn to right, hands still on buns and hips rolling.

There is some debate over whether the turn is to the left, or to the right. If you "double-time" your hip rolls (in Spanish/Latin dance style), the natural action is to the right, while people with only normal energy levels often use a single-time hip roll, in which case it's easier to turn to the left.

Do your own thing!

Cha Cha Slide

The Cha Cha Slide is a load of fun for all ages. The Cha Cha Slide is quite popular in recent years and not so overplayed as to be tiresome yet. This song is often played at dance clubs, parties, skating rinks and weddings in the United States and the United Kingdom. Cha Cha Slide is a line dance with a called instructions. "Cha Cha Slide" is a 2000 song/dance track sometimes referred to as the "Casper Slide".

The Cha Cha Slide is a new dance created by Chicago DJ and performer Mr. C -- short for Casper (his real name is Willie Perry, Jr.). Driven by his called-out instructions ("Slide to the left! Now, slide to the right!"), Cha Cha Slide is sort of like the Electric Slide's younger sister with quite a few added twists and turns.

Mr. C developed the slide in 1996 as an aerobic workout for a trainer at Bally's Fitness. "It works your whole body," he said. "If you do the dance [properly], you'll feel it everywhere." Cha Cha Slide -- named after the Latin "Cha-Cha" step that is part of the dance -- became a hit with gym members and word of it quickly spread beyond the aerobics studio. Mr. C also found himself in the recording studio when the dance's popularity prompted him to record the Cha Cha Slide: The Original Slide Album CD, featuring his instructions over an infectious bass beat.

In 2001, the dance started to catch on in various parts of the USA, particularly in Chicago, Atlanta, Detroit and Houston where urban contemporary radio stations (and later mobile DJs) began playing the song. Request keep coming in and making Mr. C a hit!

Mr. C says that dance is his "real calling," he refuses to accept the idea that it's passé. "People do still dance -- it's just time for them to get used to new dances. I'm trying to introduce that to them with the Cha Cha Slide."

Choreographer’s Notes: The song "Boot Scootin' Boogie" was written by Ronnie Dunn before "Brooks & Dunn". It was first recorded by Asleep At The Wheel in 1989, but was never released as a single. I bought the Asleep At The Wheel tape hoping that this song, with such a good name for a line dance would be suitable for a line dance. As far as we know, this was the first line dance to be named after the song; it was choreographed in 1990. It remains one of the most world’s most popular dances and was used to set the official Guinness World Record for the World Largest Line Dance (Australia, 1996,-97,-98,-99, 2000). This step description shows the way the dance is done in most parts of the world, with the last 8 counts slightly simplified.

Beginning and Stomps

To begin the dance, everyone on the dance floor should be facing the same way--generally, to the front of the dance floor. The dance starts with two stomps, first with your right foot, and then with your left foot. Hold the right stomp for four counts before beginning the left stomp, which is also held for four counts. As you stomp, you should move forward.

Cha-Cha

After the stomps, cha-cha with your right foot--bring your foot forward and put your weight onto it, shift your weight back to your left foot, then shift back to your right foot and bring the foot back into place. Cha-cha the same way with your left foot.

Turn and Move

Step with your left foot in front and rotate to the right side of the room with a grapevine--bring your right foot behind your left, then uncross your left foot--so you are facing 90 degrees from your starting position. Next, grapevine to the left--cross your left foot behind your right, and uncross your right foot.

Back It Up...and Jump!

Take three steps back, in quick succession, then jump forward.

If you forget the steps, don't worry--just as with the Cupid Shuffle and the Cha-Cha Slide, they're called out during the song. During the whole dance, move your upper body to the beat of the music. Snapping your fingers or clapping is also appropriate.
