The Electric Slide

August 30, 2007 by Alison Hodgson 4 Comments

It’s not in the curriculum I purchased, but it’s on the agenda this year for the homeschoolers. I have never learned it, although I have gotten really close at the back of many a dance floor during wedding receptions throughout the years. Just when I am starting to get the hang of it, the song ends and another couple years pass before I am able to have another go.

No more. The whole family is going to learn it, Paul on down to Eden. I mentioned this in passing to my brother, Nathan, and the phone went silent “You shouldn’t tease people, Alison,” he said after a moment.

I assured him I was dead serious.

Now I just need to find an instructor.

    What do you mean “hmmmm”!

    Picture us lined up, Paul, down to the Bean. (Note to self: must learn soon while still taller than H1 and 2)

    It’s going to be sweet. Do you know how to do it?

    CRH informed us that he likes disco (in addition to jazz) because it is better to dance to.

    The back of the dance floor at wedding receptions is about my only experience with the electric Slide as well. But I can’t say I’ve ever wished for more.

    You go for it. I would pay money to see your whole family lined up, Paul to Beanie, sliding their hearts out.

    i can’t envision this dance, but it has a dubious title.
