I just did the Running Man and the Lawn Mower to the amusement of
my family.

Can anyone do the Running Man? The Sprinkler? The Lawn Mower?

RUNNING MAN
A series of steps and scoots (usually back) that resemble a running action EXAMPLE: 1 Step slightly forward LEFT & Hitch right and scoot back on LEFT 2 Step slightly forward RIGHT & Hitch left and scoot back on RIGHT Repeat as many times as the count indicates

How about the Sugar Foot?

SUGAR FOOT
Alternating swiveling feet in the direction of the un-weighted foot Taken in place or traveling

In case you're wondering in the sprinkler, you do your arms and make sprinkler noises like "shoop shoop shoop shoop" while slowly spinning, then you go the other direction pretty fast going "shoooooooo" (you know like a sprinkler!).

For the Lawn Mower, you stand in place and put one arm down, fist clenched, then use the other arm to pantomime pulling the string to start the engine. Do this a few times in rythym to the music, then put your hands on the "handle" and scoot around in a circle, "mowing" the lawn.

It's funnier to see. But I don't have any video links.

9. Not *that* old. It's a B-52's song: "Dance This Mess Around." >
I do remember when kids on my block first started doing the twist, though.

I meant no offense, I was kidding. The dance names made me giggle and I do know a few of them.

3. I like to do the Lazy Boy
Which is where you run straight for a couch and just hit it straight on with your lower legs and fall forward onto it really fast without holding up your arms to protect yourself.

4. Oh that's fun
I haven't done that since I was a kid!

Though I did spin around in circles until I was dizzy and almost sick the other day. THAT'S good fun.
