When I was a kid ...
Circa 1987 I still have vivid recollections of being 11 years old and dancing the chicken dance with my Aunt Irene in a night club, in Italy. If that was not cool enough, I also got to sip champagne all evening. I have the glazed eye photo to prove it ....
The 80's back when parents could do stuff like this and not get socially shamed. I am sure that not may people can (er...would want to) claim to have danced the chicken dance as a child, and especially not in a nightclub in Italy, but for me it was a proud moment. If you would like to relive or experience this dance for the first time click here or got to:
Here's How You Do The Chicken Dance
- Begin in a circle with everybody facing each another (or simply stand face to face with another person)
- When the music starts, shape your hands like the beak of a chicken and open and close them for four counts.
- Make your arms like the wings of a chicken and act like you are flying for four counts.
- Place your arms and hands like the tail feathers of a chicken and wiggle your bum for four counts.
- Clap four times.
- Repeat this process four times.
- After the fourth time link arms with your partner and move around in a circle.
- Switch directions and do it all over again.
