Think of as many dance moves of the 80's as you can. The first one that comes to my mind is breakdancing.

Only ones I can think of off hand are the styles of breakdance...head spin, electric slide, walk the dog, baby's cradle, moonwalk (yeah, that's part of breakdancing as well as the robot) :p

A couple more are in my head....just can't remember the damn names! :p

All that crotch grabbing and stuff that Michael Jackson did. Is that Break Dancing? Then there was the bouncy style of the Go Go's. I don't know what that's called either. Slam dancing which I loved watching at the Oingo Boingo concerts. I think it was a lot more mellow then than it is now in the pit. Oh and Urban Cowboy was in the 80s. So, line dancing, waltzing and clogging.

I remember the Running Man dance move. That was terrible! And, of course, Madonna's dance moves were all that! I used to steal her moves from Lucky Star and use them in my own dance class. ;)

Mustn't forget the Cabbage Patch, truly a ridiculous dance move... :rolleyes:

Can anyone tell me what the name of the dance move Tom Hanks performed whilst stood on the piano during Bachelor Party?

It's Kind of a 'thumb shuffle', I can actually do a mean impression I just don't know what it's called!! :D

Hmmm, I don't know if that has a name. I think "thumb shuffle" sounds good though. ;)
