To ask what other dances with moves - like the Macarena and YMCA - you know or do? I fancy a bop in my kitchen WFH in my lunch hour!!

Blame it on the Boogie?

Or just get yourself onto TikTok. They're all there, including plenty with Mums dancing with kids as being a good thing, rather than something absolutely mortifying and to be avoided at all costs.

Wap- by Cardi B 😄

TenInSport · 16/02/2023 18:12

Whigfield - Saturday Night
Cupid - Cupid Shuffle
Rednex - Cotton Eye Joe
The Time Warp
DJ Casper - Cha Cha Slide
Steps - 5, 6, 7, 8
Cameo - Candy (Electric Slide)
Silento - Watch Me (Whip / Nae Nae)

My husband is a DJ and this seems to be the standard list. You'll be able to find tutorials for them all on YouTube, although I'm not sure if they will be as entertaining when you are sober as they are at 3am on a crowded, alcohol-fuelled dance floor! 🤣

You need a copy of Black Lace's Party Party Party album. Agadoo, Superman, and loads of other things my daughter and I love a dance to! It was the soundtrack to family parties in the 1980s.

Stickortwister · 16/02/2023 18:28

If you / your child has a nintendo switch can i strongly recommend just dance. My very favourite exercise :)

tiramisualwaystiramisu · 16/02/2023 18:31

Las Ketchup - the Ketchup Song. Came out when I was doing my year abroad and it was absolutely massive everywhere but never made it in the UK. It's ridiculously catchy and has a great dance routine which I learned and never get the chance to show because it never gets played in the UK
