From the cry baby to the stanky legg, some of these dances were just absolutely terrible, but we learned them and pulled them out like it was the Kid and Play at every club and house party. Unfortunately, the hype for these moves died down with the quickness, and I’m sure if you tried them now, someone would give you the side-eye…
The Cry Baby Dance
The cry baby, if you’ll recall, consists of laying down on your stomach on the ground, tooting your behind up, and pounding your right fist on the ground all at the same time. The end result is supposed to look like a baby having a tantrum, but of course, the dance comes off more sexually suggestive than anything childlike. I hate to admit it (in public), but I was one of many back in the day at house parties trying to get on somebody’s dirty floor to booty pop. When the ground was a little too sketch looking to do so, you could always try the dance on the wall, but alas, it was ratchet on either surface…
