LaShonna: Hey everybody. I'm LaShonna.

Victor: And my name is Victor Sho.

LaShonna: And we're going to teach you how to do the electric slide.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

LaShonna: If you don't already know the electric slide, we're going to teach you the basic form of it. If you already know it, we're going to add some spice to it so that your electric slide can be the best of them all.

Victor: Alright, so...

LaShonna: We start with four steps to the right. One, two, three, four. Then same thing to the left, four steps. One, two, three, four. Then take four steps back. One, two, three, four. Then you do a little step touch to the front, smack, and back. If you got that much, we add the step kick. The foot that's in front steps. The foot that's in back kicks. Now we're on a new side. This dance repeats over and over again. It's a line dance, so we're going to start this way. Ready? Four steps to the right. Here we go. One, two, three, to the left. One, two, then we take it back. One, two, left foot's in front. We step kick. Start again, two, three, four. To the left, take it back. One, two, three, four. Step, touch. Step and kick. Okay?

Now we're going to do the electric slide four times adding some variations to it. So the first time it's going to be pretty basic and the second, third, and fourth time we're going to add some spice to it. Ready Victor?

Victor: Yeah.

LaShonna: Okay. Five, six, to the right. Four steps.

Victor: You want to have fun with it.

LaShonna: That's right.

Victor: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

LaShonna: And chasse.

Victor: Chasse, chasse, chasse.

LaShonna: A variation of the step, the four steps. Touch the floor on this one.

Victor: Uh! Kick it out! Chasse again. Back it up.

LaShonna: Add a lasso this time.

Victor: Uh! Uh! Uh!

LaShonna: Chasse.

Victor: Chasse again.

LaShonna: Take it back. Now hit the floor and pick your leg up. Hit the floor. Kick your leg out.

Victor: Oh! And that's how you do it.

LaShonna: The electric slide.

I need to learn this by Friday 😅😅 pray for me y'all!

[blkdalejrfan]

This was THE Dance at every summer family cookout I've been to as a kid!!!

[suevanoni]

why all the mean comments?  They are just having fun.  They did OK on the basic and this dance can get boring.  I think they're just tryin' to show us to kick it up a notch, but ONLY if you want to; otherwise, stick with the basic.

[Martha-izlr]

I’m going to put this on the big tv and practice until I’m an expert. Looks like so much fun.

This video came up on m
y home page. Took me back to the 80's when I had rhythm. Thought I'd give it a try again. No more rhythm. I think I sprained my ankle...:-)))

Plan to do this at the club this weekend along with the stir movie and the jogging man.

[TheFoodieCutie]

It would help if you actually played the electric slide music...

[BiggiemanMD]

crazy how many times I've seen this dance but always had to follow along others. You make it so easy :)

[heleneschenbacher]

Oh man!  These two are REALLY good!  I’m impressed. I’d be embarrassed being on the same dance floor with such superb dancers!  Mahalo (Thank you! in Hawai’an)

Pray for me

You two messed up the 2nd wall.  It is a 18 count dance, but you missed step 14 and 15, (the step back) you went right into the kick.

[faegrrrl]

I'm glad you put some stank on it because I didn't recognize it in your first run. I remember doing it pretty freaky back in the 80s. lol You guys are so great!!

[spaceman]

[STIZEN]

La Shonna there is something about the way you smile- it just makes me wanna smile right back at you. You have a blessed smile friend!

[eadecamp]

This is a good place to start. Every region has their own way of doing it.
