The Go Go Girls perform swinging 60's routines from mod to psychedelic and soul, and also offer 70's disco and funk sets, inspired by Soul Train and Pans People!
The Freddie Lift your right arm and leg Lift your left arm and leg. It sounds simple, but at high speeds, it can result in a crazy dance.
The Frug Stand with your feet together and bend your knees slightly. Move your hips to the right, and then move them to the left. The movement should come from the hips rather than your knees. The frug is danced at a fast pace, and a right-left pair of hip movements should take a single count.
The Hitch-Hike While doing the hip motions of the frug, hold you right hand in a fist with thumb extended, as if you are hitch-hiking. Move your thumb to the right for three counts. Clap your hands to the right on the fourth count. Switch hands and move your thumb to the left for three counts. Clap your hands, this time to the left, on the fourth count.
The Loco-motion This dance is unique among famous dances in the sixties in being a line dance. Dancers take instruction from the song, performing hip swings and jumps, among other steps.
The Mashed Potato Stand with your heels together and your toes turned out, much like in ballet first position. Shift your weight to your toes and swing your heels out and back in. From there, you can start lifting your feet with the outward swings.
The Shimmy Shake your shoulders back and forth while holding the rest of your body still. Your arms should be held to the side with elbows slightly bent.
The Swim
The key to this dance is in the arm movements. While your lower body is doing the frug or the twist, your arms are swimming and diving. For the grand finale, hold your nose and pretend to be sinking under water.
The Twist When listening to Chubby Checker's popular song, the only way to move is to twist your body back and forth to the beat. The key to performing the Twist properly is that you must use both your legs and your torso, often in opposite directions.
