Just a jump to the left, and a step to the right. Put your hands on your hips and put your knees in tight. But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane.

The popular dance from the movie and stage show, simple because the song, Time Warp instructs the Time-Warper how the dance is preformed mid-song. The song found its origins when Richard O'Brien and his former wife Kimmi wanted to introduce a dance like the Madison. Australian Little Nell was another reason for the Time Warp's birth, as those involved in the play believed Nell should have a song. Thus, she has a solo and a tap-dance routine. In the original stage show, this song was after Sweet Transvestite, and only preformed by the local aliens (Magenta, Riff-Raff, Dr. Frank-N-Furter, and Nell's currently nameless character). However, Frank-N-Furter's guests, the Transylvanians take to the dance in the movie. This prompts moviegoers to get up and do the dance with them, and this is the most widely accepted form of the audience participation phenomenon that has accompanied this bizarre cult film.
