Dancing is a great way to get people to come together. We all love to dance even if we don't want to show it. Even though a lot of famous dance moves are older than this generation, we still love to do them so people will join.

The chicken dance.

Giphy

We all love to dance like a chicken, why not do it together?

Michael Jackson's famous Moonwalk.

Giphy

You can't get any better than the famous moonwalk started by Michael Jackson himself. Even though he is gone, his moves still stay.

Playing some airband.

Giphy

Playing the air-guitar or the air-drums can get anyone in the mood for some dancing. All you need to do is move your arms like your playing an instrument and people will join in dancing.

"Raise the Roof."

Giphy

If Steve Harvey can do it, then we all can do it.

Hammertime.

Giphy

Hammertime is a specific dance move, but you could easily make it your own by adding some of your own personality and pizazz.

Cha Cha Slide.

Giphy

Who wouldn't start dancing when they hear the cha cha slide come on? I know I can't help myself when this song comes on. There is nothing else but the Cha Cha Slide that brings a company together.

"Now watch me whip, Now watch me nae nae!"

Giphy

Now this is ore of a recent dance move, but it still became a very popular dance to do at parties. Nobody can resist to do these moves when the song comes on.

"If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe."

Giphy

If you do not know this dance, then that is not okay. This was one of my favorite songs to dance to where me and my friends would hear the song and immediately get up and dance.

The Sprinkler.

Giphy

If you don't know what to do when dancing then go with the classic move: the sprinkler. Nobody can deny its greatness.

The Macarena.

Giphy

The macarena isn't only for dancing at parties, it could also be used as a celebration dance on the field.

Wop.

Giphy

Some old school dance moves are so good that kids are doing them.

My all-time favorite: The Carlton.

Giphy

The most famous, and my all times favorite, dance move is the Carlton. I loved watching the show "Fresh Prince of Bell Air" and I loved whenever they did this dance in the show.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
