This is a fun little book of dance moves that typically take their inspirations from everyday life: the sprinkler, the eggbeater, the shopping cart, all the classic nightclub stuff that seems utterly ridiculous until you see someone who's really good doing it, and then all together in a routine - after you read this, you'll be able to break down each individual move in the big sequences of Saturday Night Fever and Napoleon Dynamite. It's best digested while tuned into YouTube, because while the diagramming is precise at showing you exactly where to do what, it doesn't do justice to the really complex stuff like the Melbourne Shuffle.

A must for all dance enthusiasts! An overview of all common step combinations beyond the couple dance. The design is both sensible and intolerable!

Who doesn't like to dance? With this book you can bust out the funky chicken or the chicken noodle soup with flare and pizazz at your next family function or wedding reception. Some of the instructions could be better given, but hey think of it as more of a guide, not an instruction manual. The moves are best when you add your own style... Bust a move...

Important to know these to keep up with the young people.

some sweet moves - but definitely not an exhaustive list
