A mass mania over a new
dance. It may be as old as history - the
French Revolution is synonymous with the
waltz. Isn't it? In modern days, it usually has
underground roots but gets appropriated by the
corporates - e.g.,
The Twist was originally just some dance steps some black kids in
Philadelphia did. Won't you Mashed Potatoes, Watusi, Hustle, Boogaloo, Swim,
Chalypso, Stroll, Freddy, Bump, Cha-Cha-Cha, Bossa, and
Electric Slide with me?
Also the name of a 1980 2-Tone film.
