Crunk Dancing

The term "Crunk" has been attributed a majority towards past African American slang and hold various meanings. It is believed that the use of the term came from the past tense form of the word 'crank', which was sometimes conjugated as 'crunk' in the Southern parts. Thus, if a person, event or party was hyped or 'cranked' - it was said to be 'crunk' in this case. (context credits partial to Wikipedia). This term slowly gained popularity and by the 1990s broke into mainstream success with the movement of modern hip-hop (still particularly in the south). In popular culture, dancing was and is a massive part of the hip-hop movement and a particular type of one of the many unique styles of hip-hop dancing embraced 'the crunk'. This dance involves a 'freestyle' attitude, often shown with an element of aggressive (often catorgorised as 'hardcore') and a 'wild' or natural 'loose' expression. It is characterised as one or several individuals freely moving in synchronization to the hip-hop rhythms or 'beat', yet is not embraced in an organised manner. Often individuals doing 'the crunk' or in the process of 'crunking' is presented with an unsequenced routine, involving rapid hyper-active gestures, particularly the swinging of arms and 'pumping' of fists; as well as sharp movements of the body in a non-intentional or harmful violent fashion.

Jesus H. Tap-dancing Christ

Can be used as a expression of surprise/dismay/happiness/anger. John Belushi says this in the film "The Blues Brothers" when John Belushi realizes he needs to get his band back together.

John Belushi (as "Joliet" Jake Blues): "The band...the band!"

James Brown (as the church pastor): "Do you see the light?"

John Belushi: "THE BAND!"

James Brown: "DO YOU SEE THE LIGHT?"

Dan Aykroyd (as Elwood Blues): "What light?"

James Brown: "HAVE YOU SEEN THE LIGHT?"

John Belushi: "YES! YES! JESUS H. TAP-DANCING CHRIST, I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT!" (Proceeds to do backflips down the church aisle)

highland dancing

Probably the most extreme, physically tiring form of dancing in the world. Either competed or performed, highland dancing is both mentally and physically exhausting. Dancers hop on one foot, performing a variety of difficult dance moves, sometimes including leaps in the air, dancing over crossed swords, and other such challenges. Dancers compete the highland dances in kilts and jackets and/or vests, and perform the national dances in the aboyne costume. A white or blue sailor's costume is worn for the Sailor's Hornpipe. More liberties are taken with the outfit for the Scottish Jig.

All the dances are performed wearing the soft shoe ghillie, similar to the ballet slipper.The one exception is the Scottish Jig; it is performed in hard heeled shoes with metal attached the the bottom of the heel that make clacking noises.

The dances include the:
Fling
Sword
Seann Truibhas
Strathspey and Highland Reel
Strathspey and Half Tulloch
Strathspey, Highland Reel and Half Tulloch
Full Tulloch
Tullochan
