Years ago I took free dance lessons at a local bar and grill for the fun of it as a hobby. I got divorced and wanted some exercise in my life. It was such a blast learn from Ms. Doris, an elderly lady who had such high spirit, she motivated all of us young and old. It quickly became more than a hobby, it was a habit. I went from Tuesday night dance lessons to dancing 3nights a week. I sure do miss dancing that the other night I told myself it’s time to declutter the back porch and organize it to make dancing room.
I agree with you 100%! After my divorce I learned to dance, nothing formal, just following my dance partner, went from one night a week to six! Thirty hours a week, I just loved it! Sadly my favorite club closed, others didn’t measure up so I quit going, but I do miss it so much!
You should consider line dancing. It's a fabulously supportive community and requires no partner. Your ballroom dance background will all come back since it is many of the same steps. Have fun dancing!
As a 74 year old senior who is alone, this is great!!! I had forgotten all about line dancing , so thank you!!! Now I will use it as a warm up and have fun before getting into the rest of my exercising and the 2 days a week I do weight lifting. Thank you for taking the time to think through how to help us learn new dance steps easily! You are a blessings!
Thank you so much for this video. I'm 61 and have been to many weddings but never knew how to do this dance. I would just sit down when people got on the floor to do the electric slide. But that is usually a dance that lasts a while because people love it. So now I don't have to just sit there and watch. I can do it, too !!! 🧡🧡
We are a group of friends in our 60's and 70's. We meet in different places to dance to live bands. When the band takes a break and the DJ starts playing his music we do the electric slide to many different songs. We also do it to salsa and merengue. Billie Jean is one of our favorites to dance to. It's a great workout. Your video is great for teaching it.
I love the electric slide. I was very shy when young and am still when it comes to dancing. But put on the electric slide and all that self-consciousness goes away!!! What a great video.
Thanks for watching! Dancing is the perfect remedy for shyness. It's great exercise and so much fun. Thanks for supporting my music and line dance tutorials.
I told an adult daughter yesterday everyone should know the Electric Slide, how to Two Step and how to correctly slow dance so they can enjoy weddings and many other functions. Thanks for this lesson.
I remember doing this dance at a club I went to years ago. When we’d dip we’d touch the floor with our fingers and add a little spin in the transitions. So fun to create your own variations.
I love that diversity. Check out Come Dance with Me. The same line dance works for my song as well as a popular African American song. I also have a new song/dance coming out on 9/1/23.
Dance is such a wonderful sport and releases feel good endorphins. I learnt social Ballroom dancing as a teenager. My school friend and I would occasionally go to Saturday Night dances with my parents. Being young and having no boyfriends, my friend and I would dance together. As time progressed we would find ourselves the only ones dancing on occassion which meant we were doing dance displays. Quiet amusing. We loved it. We soon discovered the oldies were only going out for the social get together of talking and simply shuffling around the dance floor. The plus side for me is I use to make all my dresses for those Saturday nights out. If only we could go back to those great Social Saturday Dances. Naturally it came to a stop when I met the man I ended up marrying. I soon learnt he didn't have my enthusiasm for dance. Not much fun going out on a Saturday night if your boyfriend virtually sat around all night not dancing. There were always some single guys at our church Saturday night dances.
Oh my goodness!! lol? I heard this music yesterday while at a Whole Foods Store!😲👍My sister n I used to make up steps to this song back in the 70's in our small studio apartment in NYC. Man, we're old!🤣You have rhythm n style! I wish you had a dance studio in Knoxville that I could join. I'd love to get this arthritis under control. Oh my achey brakey back!😳
Keep on dancing....it keeps you young! Check out my Achy Breaky tutorial. I also have a new song and dance coming out September 1st. Heart Like a Train! I hope like it too.
You must have had something else going on in your life at that time...this dance was huge. It was a long time ago for me to even remember. I graduated in 88. To this day if someone plays the song "electric slide" people still get up and dance this dance...well in this town anyway..I live in a tourist area.
The Electric slide really didn’t become big until the late 80’s early 90’s. Some mix up the bus stop with the electric slide, but the bus stop is totally different.
Wow, that is interesting. It was wildly popular in Chicago and most of the country during that time period. It's still popular at weddings and gatherings of multiple ages. Have fun dancing!
I subscribed… you are a great smooth dancer and you teach very well. Thanks. My fave Line Dance songs are: Last Night …. And Cupid Shuffle. I wonder how these moves will match up … hmmm.
You sound like a very experienced electric slide dancer. Thanks for taking the time to watch my tutorial. I hope you like my music too. I have a new song and line dance, "Heart Like a Train" that comes out September 1st. Have fun dancing!
It’s part of our Training to make the moves really big. One reason is so that even the people in the very back of the room can see it. Another reason is because the students usually do only about 50 percent of what the Instructor does, or less.

Good for you! Your message makes me very happy. You are an inspiration!
You are the absolute best teacher of dance moves (specific, repetition, a bit slowed down so others can easily follow, etc.). Thank you!
Thank you for your wonderful compliments. I appreciate them more than you know! Have fun dancing!

This is great! So helpful and I appreciate that you dress so modestly also. 🌸
I appreciate that you noticed! Exercise clothes are the easiest and most comfortable to dance in!
Absolutely loved it. ❤I am from the electric slide era and I love “The Hustle”. Thank you. I need to start dancing.🎉
Yes you do! Thank you for watching and learning. Have fun dancing!
I love the electric slide. I was very shy when young and am still when it comes to dancing. But put on the electric slide and all that self-consciousness goes away!!! What a great video.
Thanks for watching! Dancing is the perfect remedy for shyness. It's great exercise and so much fun. Thanks for supporting my music and line dance tutorials.
You explained it so well and with details. I finally learned the electric slide. Thanks!
Thank you and thanks for taking the time to respond. Have fun dancing!

Thank you for watching! Thanks also for supporting my music!
I love to dance, i taught zumba and senior exercise. We taught ppl to take small steps while dancing. Lots of fun. Thanks
Very wise to take small steps to save space. Have fun dancing!
Your a great dance teacher. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Good exercise it's been awhile since I have done the electric slide and your right it works your brain. Way to go Nancy!!!
You are very kind. Have fun dancing!
Finally....tutorial that i can follow....thank you
Glad it helped!
I remember doing this dance at a club I went to years ago. When we’d dip we’d touch the floor with our fingers and add a little spin in the transitions. So fun to create your own variations.
Us, too!!😍😍
Yep did that too, learned that from my Puerto Rican bf at the time 😉
Those are fancy steps. You must be a great dancer. I would love to see those spins to add variations. Thank you for taking the time to watch!
My neighbor ( African American) we dance the Electric Slide at all of her cookouts. She also taught me Africa dance for exercise and weight lost.
I love that diversity. Check out Come Dance with Me. The same line dance works for my song as well as a popular African American song. I also have a new song/dance coming out on 9/1/23.

The title of the song is actually Electric Boogie. The name of the line dance is The Electric. 😉
Yeah, but we changed the name to the electric slide.
Who is we?

Definitely, this is encouraging. Will do it. Love to dance.

Very graceful. Love this dance, I would love to learn this dance so bad, but sorry I'm unteachable.

Those were some good times! The dance is ageless, just like you!
@@nancyhaysmusic And the night always ended with Donna Summer’s “Last Dance”. 🎶🕺
🎶 Do the Hustle!! 🎶
And the electric slide!
Wait, this doesn't look like the hustle I remember?
It's the electric slide using the hustle music.
Hi sweetheart I love your move
I will learn from you
Let's go 😊
The laif boute?
You sound like a very experienced electric slide dancer. Thanks for taking the time to watch my tutorial. I hope you like my music too. I have a new song and line dance, "Heart Like a Train" that comes out September 1st. Have fun dancing!
And..fall over the dog because he thinks you’re playing 😂
Good point. Keep the dog in the other room!
Nice very
Thank you!
Love it
Thank you.
Good thing I don't take such huge steps when I'm line dancing!
Instructors make the steps big so you can see it.
Good job 👍🏻
I was thinking the same!
Maybe you should get Licensed to Teach since you know how to dance so well. 😉
It’s part of our Training to make the moves really big. One reason is so that even the people in the very back of the room can see it. Another reason is because the students usually do only about 50 percent of what the Instructor does, or less.
How bout the Nitty Gritty
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band?
That's not the way you do the hustle...
I laike et
Thank you.
❤😊
Thanks for the positive emojis!

Thanks for watching and learning!

Too much talking for a good tutorial exercise video. The dance is too many moves, not a fun dance and not even fast enough for a good workout.
