The Electric

The Electric

The Electric Slide is a four wall line dance. Originally it was The Electric (Electric Boogie), created in 1976 by Ric Silver for the opening of Vamps Disco in New York at 71st and Broadway. It was choreographed to the international hit song Electric Boogie by Marcia Griffiths written by Bunny Wailer for her.

Steps

- 1-4 Grapevine right (tap and clap on 4)
- 5-8 Grapevine left (tap and clap on 8)
- 9-12 Walks back (tap and clap on 12)
- 13-16 Rock forward & back:
- 13: Left forward
- 14: Tap right toe at the left heel, clap
- 15: Right backward
- 16: Tap left toe at the right heel, snap
- 17-20 Repeat 13-16
- 21 Left forward with 1/4 turn left
- 22 Hop Variations involve turns during the grapevine and walks back, a spin on 22, various ways of clapping, and type of steps. Some dance venues teach variations with extra or removed steps to make the dance fit the 4/4 phrasing (with 20 or 24 steps). In fact, according to the author, the "broken" phrasing was a conscious decision. It introduces a certain diversity of accents which makes the pattern less repetitive. The dance is still done frequently at social occasions to virtually any music.

Four wall line dance

A line dance is a formation dance in which a group of people dance in a line formation or in lines, and they all execute the same dance moves individually.

Description

In a small group there may be only one line, but usually there are several parallel lines, one behind the other. A dance teacher, or more experienced dancer, will usually perform on a stage or in the center of the first line. Inexperienced dancers are encouraged to take positions in the middle of the group to allow watching other dancers' feet in front of them. Experienced dancers are encouraged to take positions on the outside edges of the group to help others. In this parallel line formation, the dancers dance in a synchronized manner, but independently of each other. There are usually no moves that require any interaction between the dancers, other than they execute the maneuvers at the same time. Each dance has a different sequence of movements that must be learned. There are, however, several variations to this parallel lines set-up. There may, for example, be two set of lines where the dancers face in directly towards each other. In larger groups these will become several sets of in-facing parallel lines. In these "contra" line dances, the dancers will dance with the others in the facing lines. The dancers often weave in and out, exchanging places, or dance up to each other, and make momentary contact, such as a hand clap, or a swing, or take hold in Promenade position for a few counts, and then move on. This has it roots in Square or Round Dancing These contact maneuvers are more likely in the variation where line dancing takes place in two concentric rings which are facing each other, such as a Barn Dance or Indian Outlaw.

Music

Line dancing has had a cowboy image, and it was danced predominately to country-western music. This has been changing since the late 1990s, as more young people became involved. Today, country music may make up the minority of a DJ's play list, with the balance spread through a variety of many different musical styles both new and old. Genres including Celtic, Swing, Pop, Rock, Big Band, Folk, and almost anything else that has a regular beat.

History

Line dance is popularly thought of as originating in the Wild West. In fact, its roots go back far in history. Folk dances, including the "Virginia Reel", are danced in line formation. There have been line dances during the heyday of many modern popular music styles, including swing, rock and roll, and disco. Line dancing's current popularity grew out of the disco period, when the country-western dance and music communities continued to explore and develop this form of dancing. Billy Ray Cyrus' 1992 hit Achy Breaky Heart, helped catapult western line dancing back into the musical mainstream's public consciousness, and in 1998, band Steps created further interest with the song 5678. Line dancing is a popular recreation activity and is practiced and learned in country-western dance bars, social clubs, dance clubs and ballrooms worldwide. It avoids the problem of imbalance of male/female partners that plagues ballroom/swing/salsa dancing clubs. It is sometimes combined on dance programs with other forms of country-western dance, such as two-step, shuffle, western promenade dances, as well as western-style variants of the waltz, polka and swing. Two popular dances that technically classify as line dances are the Nutbush (performed to Nutbush City Limits by Tina Turner) and the Macarena.

Terms

Count

A dance will have a number of counts, for example a 64-count dance. This is the number of beats of music it would take to complete one sequence of the dance. This is not necessarily the same number of steps in the dance as steps can be performed on an and count between two beats, or sometimes a step holds over more than one beat.

Step

A dance is made up of a number of movements called steps. Each step is given a name so teachers can tell dancers to perform this step when teaching a dance. The most well-known is the grapevine (or vine for short), a four-count movement to the side.

Tag

A tag (or bridge) is an extra set of steps not part of the main dance that are inserted into one or more sequences to ensure the dance fits with the music.

Basic

A Basic is one repetition of the main dance from the first count to the last not including any Tags or Bridges.

Wall

Each dance can be described to consist of a number of walls. A wall is the direction in which the dancers face at any given time, which would be the front, the back or one of the sides.
- A one-wall dance would mean that at the end of the routine, the dancers would be facing in the same direction as they had started and so each sequence would repeat exactly the same.
- A two-wall dance would mean the start of each routine alternates between two walls (almost always the front and back walls)
- A four wall line dance is one in which at the end the whole routine of dance moves, the dancers turn 90 degrees, so that they would face all four walls in turn during four repetitions of the routine.

Line dancing in films

Line dances can be seen in films such as Saturday Night Fever, Hairspray and Urban Cowboy. Category:Line dances simple:Line dancing

Bunny Wailer

Bunny Wailer, also known as Bunny Livingston, was an original member of reggae group The Wailers along with Bob Marley and Peter Tosh. Peter Tosh Bunny Wailer, a singer songwriter and percussionist, was born Neville O'Riley Livingston on April 10, 1947 in Jamaica. Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh continued recording as the Wailers during the period of time that Marley was in Delaware. Bunny Wailer toured with the Wailers in England and the United States, but soon became reluctant to leave Jamaica. He and Tosh became more marginalized in the group as the Wailers became an international success, and attention was increasingly focused on Marley. Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh subsequently left the Wailers to pursue solo careers. They were replaced by the I Threes, a move to broaden the base of success for the Wailers in the non-Jamaican market. After leaving the Wailers, Bunny became more focused on his spiritual faith. He identified with the Rastafari movement, as did the other Wailers. He self-produced a number of his recordings after striking out on his own. He has also written much of his own material as well as re-recording a number of cuts from the Wailers catalogue. Bunny Wailer has recorded primarily in the roots style, in keeping with his often political and spiritual messages. He has also had success recording in the typically apolitical, more pop dancehall style. He has outlived his contemporaries in a culture where death by violence is commonplace. Bunny Wailer has won the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album in 1990, 1994 and 1996.
