Even though dancing has evolved certain dances like 'the hustle' 'the funky chicken' or 'the bump' and of course the 'YMCA' were very popular back in the day everyone was rocking to the latest 70s music.
in 1975 Van McCoy had everyone doing 'The Hustle', there were both line and partner forms of the hustle, dance experts described the dance as a mix of swing and Latin preformed to a 70s disco beat.
the 'YMCA' was so popular in the 70s, people still even do the dance today, for this dance dancers simply move their arms into the Y, M, C, and A whenever those letters are said in the song.
'The Bump' was a simple 70s dance that didnt require a lot of complicated steps you just needed a partner and together you swayed to the music and gently dumped hips.
the funky chicken was a fun and funny yet bizarre dance during the 70s, it was a solo dance that had steps with names like "chicken wings" and "chicken legs".
