In the shower this morning I started to reminisce about how good it was to be a 90’s kid. We were able to see Green Day, Jenna Jameson, and Marky Mark start their careers. We saw the Phillies make not only the playoffs, but a world series. That may not happen again any time soon. We saw MTV change from a station that actually played music videos to a paper bag filled with sheep shit. Every boy wanted to be Zack Morris and every girl wanted to be his Kelly Kapowski. Ahhh those were the years.
Looking back, what I miss most were the killer dance moves that were enjoyed by all, but never made it past the 90’s. Now I am not a good dancer by any stretch of the imagination, but when I see some of these moves I feel like I could have survived with what I got. Check out these clips to see what I mean (if you see an empty white space, click it…some video players suck):
How about that reverse-step-behind move followed by the side to side leg point. DAMN Slater.
(click the empty white space and the video should start playing)
I am not so sure this is so much a 90’s dance deal as it is black people making fun of white people’s inability to dance.
Poor Jaleel White never recovered after that role. Rough.
Jim Carrey in his element
How could I not include the man himself, MC Hammer?
So as you can see, many stellar dance moves were lost from in the transition from the 90’s into the 2000’s. Next time I am out at a club (read never), I will bust out the Slater “reverse step behind” followed by the “side-by-side-leg-point” and maybe even get the place doing The Urkel. Solid.

all hail the youtube king!!!
bruce lee urkel? seriously??? wow…
HAHA I am glad you enjoyed the post…thanks for the comment…
If YouTube ever decides to change something, I am going to be screwed since I have sooo many videos on here.
You forgot one crucial 90’s dance move diddy! The one and only, “The Malen Grind” This “move” can be done by all. Pretend you’re trying to give a girl a lapdance by sitting on her lap and then proceed to wiggle or shimmy your ass from side to side in slow non-coordinated stints. And there you have it!…lol
the urkel dance is by far one of the funniest things i’ve ever seen. made my dayyy.
HAHA yea it brings back so many memories…I even had his cereal “Urkel-O’s”
