Shake Your Groove Thing.

Quick- how many dance steps are in the Electric Slide?  ...If you guessed "I don't fucking care" you're right!

Luckily though, you are now free to duplicate and elaborate the 'Slide non-commercially as a result of an agreement reached by the EFF and Richard Silver, the dance's creator.  They agreed not to sue him if he stopped filing DMCA claims to prevent people from posting videos of themselves doing the dance wrong.  That's right, they weren't even technically doing the terribly embarrassing dance correctly; how embarrassing.  But not as embarrassing as admitting you invented the dance to begin with.
