Love Shack by B52s dance
Ok this is a really niche post but it’s bugging me. So back from like 2000-2015 I worked in the wedding industry in Michigan so I went to a lot of wedding receptions all over the state. At almost every reception they played Love Shack (among other songs like the Chicken Dance, Macarena, Electric Slide). One thing I vividly remember was that people usually knew a line dance to Love Shack. It involved like rolling your hands, clapping, putting your hands on your hips (like Macarena) and then jumping around.
Well I randomly remembered this the other day so I tried googling this dance and couldn’t find anything!! I eventually found one video of people doing dance and sure enough it was from a wedding in Michigan. Then I found another video after more digging and it was also from a prom in Michigan!
Is anyone familiar with this dance and is it a regional thing? I know Love Shack isn’t really a popular wedding song anymore so maybe it’s more of a generational thing? Anyone know what I am talking about??
