Group dances - yes or no?

Some clients have had VERY strong feelings about group dances lately: "ABSOLUTLEY NO CHICKEN DANCE!!!"

We understand. Some may think these songs are "hokey" and stupid, but the reality is that some of the best known standards, like the original Electric Slide, will get a crowd up and moving! People are comfortable doing a dance with specific steps. They don't feel as self conscious getting on the dance floor if a bunch of other people are doing the same thing they are.

Yes, flapping your arms like a chicken may not be the most appropriate thing to do at a super formal event - but it sure could be fun! And those that hate it, can head to the bar or the bathroom for 2 1/2 minutes. :)

CURRENT MOST REQUESTED GROUP DANCES:
1. Electric Slide
2. Cha Cha Slide
3. Cotton Eyed Joe
4. YMCA

Sadly the Macarena has fallen from this list..........ah the good ole days
