Huh? You say. Well according to Ric Silver, the man pictured here, not only did he invent the Electric Slide (or The Electric, as he calls it), but you are doing it wrong. Silver claims his Slide features 22 steps rather than the ubiquitous 18 step dance you are doing. Furthermore, only those folks fortunate enough to know how to boogie on down the right way will be allowed to shuffle past the Pearly Gates.
How all this was discovered was the last black man in America to learn to ‘Slide went on line to get video instruction. You can read the rest of his story–and some of the (ahem) wisdom Silver wishes to impart on his fellow man. To see the dance like you are “apposed” to be doin’ it, visit Silver’s website.
Of all the ways folks have tried to save my soul, I suppose this is one of the most innocuous ones. But being a Bronx girl, I’d rather groove to the Marcia Griffith video, just as the great Goddess in her wisdom intended.
Here’s one final test: if you look sillier than the people in this video when you dance, please, please, sit down.
