Craze when you were in High School?Don't laugh but the Twist and Mashed Potatos was it at our school.

Im thinking it was break dancing in the 80's...I graduated in 1987 but the dances that I went to were when I was in middle school mostly.

I was in HS after the break dancing phase but before the Electric Slide. I do remember doing the "wop" at the teen club I used to go to.

I don't really remember a specific 'dance' in High School; but, unfortunately, in Junior High the moon walk was really big . Breakdancing was popular in Junior High as well (although I did not join in the fun ). Oh, the joys of growing up in the 80's.

Watusi, the Frug, the Alligator, bop, twist, the jerk, Bristol Stomp, Caterpiller, Shag, Shingaling, Shake, boogaloo, monkey

I can't remember all of them there were so many

In high school? It was after The Bump and before whatever came next. LOL! I was probably in 7th grade or so for The Bump.
