I teach physical education K-6 and I use your copperhead road and now electric slide for remote teaching. There are a lot of second graders on up who can now do those dances. Thank you for the videos.
This is appreciated in 2024, I’m going on a cruise in January 2025! I’m nearing that “Half Century” life marker and never learned to do this! Tried a few times but other videos went too fast and added flare. Thank you for taking it slow and only doing the basic steps!
Well, learning to dance for the last year as I approach my 72nd b day. Carolina Shag, East Coast swing, two step, River Waltz, Cupid shuffle and now the electric slide. Yes, I know it's older than the hills but who cares. Nice job teaching it.
Going through dance class and is the best reputation of how to make the moves. 5 years from a traumatic leg injury I want to get back to dancing like I used to 25 years ago.😊 My wife convinced me to do the dance and a gala cuz she saw the Beckham challenge. It was rough on my part 😁
The electric slide is basic line dance that has many ways of doing it. This is the version most common at honky tonks and is a very good learning video.
You all probably dont give a shit but does any of you know a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!
The one thing I got I have to admit being a contractor mitigating an injury, dancing works muscles better than physical therapy just my opinion. I suffered a catastrophic shoulder dislocation as well and the baller of dancing helped strengthen the muscles that have given me the most trouble through my rehabilitation. Doing fun exercises this is great exercise to those muscles outside of you're normal routine. 😉
omg I was doing this dance before she was born! I feel SO OLD. LMAO I have forgotten so much about the dancing I did so many decades ago. This just brings the memories back. WOW! She gonna slap leather too? 😁😁
In my 60’s learned electric slide two weeks ago. Taking a dancercise class and learning more line dances. Got my muscles hurting😀. But I’m remembering that we did square dancing in school. Can’t recall what grade.
Ive never understood why it goes 1234, 1234, 1234, 12, then screw 34, just start over even though you're in the middle of a verse. Throws the whole thing off.
I never did the electric slide with my friends at prom, or at my friend’s wedding. I recently learned how to do the electric slide, unfortunately I was dancing alone meaning it was too little too late. Had a good time though.
@@DirtRoadDancing Hi, Greetings from Greece. It's me again. I was wondering if you have a video already or can make one with the line dance from step up ''till the down'' scene. or something similar. thanks in advance
You got the wrong song on here though haha. Idk I always seen this danced to a song where they're singing "electric slide" and it wasn't country. I'm looking for that song, but this was the first result popped up!
Have you ever wondered why the Candy Dance / Electric Slide doesn’t fit into counts of 8? …even if you’ve been doing this dance naturally since you were a child 🤷🏾♂️ It’s because the ‘spin’, or ‘stomp-knee’ or ‘stomp-kick’ is a _reduced version_ of the original “electric-”(stomp-), “slide”(literally slide). The dance we all know is (almost) two sets of eight: *First Eight* 1-4 _Grapevine(or two steps) Right_ 5-8 _Grapevine(or two steps) Left_ *Second Eight* 1-4 _Two steps back(add flavour🌶 or ✨shimmy)_ * 5-6 _Step-knee, Step-kick …OR ELECTRIC SLIDE_ 🎉😂 ** _(7-8) fly, land, recover, freestyle_ 💃🏾 *** * For the two steps back… imagine a plane taxiing on a runway preparing for takeoff or a feline (cat, lion, tiger, panther) backing up and preparing for a jump pounce. This is the preparation for the amazing electric slide… (or stomp-turn in line-dancing) ** In line-dancing, the step-kick(cowboys n cowgirls) or step-knee(african diaspora) is a TURN(bring the right should from behind to in front, turning anti-clockwise)… the turn replaces the step-slide(which is the electric slide) because when you’re line dancing all together there is no space for everyone to step(on beat 5) and go flying sideways (beats 6,7,8) *** Beats 7 & 8 are omitted when line dancing because the slide is cut short 😭 However, if you have plenty of space, bring back the SLIDE inna de (in the) electric slide 😄⚡️🛝
It's an 18 count dance, makes it confusing. Experienced dancers don't need to get bored. Put a roll in the left vine (counter clockwise) and a clockwise roll going back three counts. Jazzes everything up
This is some country line dancing this is definitely not the actual electric slide. It and looks like she put some country flare on the real electric slide lol
Let me tell you about school at school we eat breakfast in the morning and we go to class to learn math and science and art and crafts and music and gym and lunch and go outside to play at school Sophia it's a easy steps 😁
Why is it off beat. This bothers me so much. It starts as "1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4" THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, SPAGHETTI. Help pls I don't know the proper way to do itttttt (without going OFF BEAT!)
Your right. It has 2 extra counts. So for the full count, you would do one through eight twice then on the scuff turn, count one, two then restart. It’s a 18 count dance.

I turned 21 two days ago and went to a country club and now I’m determined to learn all the dances
Awesome!! We are doing Live Stream ones now too. Check them out at dirtroaddancing.com/virtual-dance-lessons/
Let's be honest None of us can dance if we are looking up the electric slide in 2020.
🤣🤣
Truth. Cold, but true.
True haha.
I was raised in a church that thought dancing was a sin so I'm now 30 and trying to learn.
😂
Not really, because I bboy dance and freedance, and Im still learning the electric slide dance!

Love this, this is the slow breakdown of instruction I need!
Turning around is brilliant. I’ve wished forever that damn dance teachers would do this. It’s so much easier. Thanks!

Thank you sooo much! You just got me a passing grade on my dance unit during covid. Thanks!
Awesome!!! What class and school?
@@DirtRoadDancing P.E; Oak Valley Middle school. I'm surprised you replied let alone so fast.

You're the best instructor. Do you perhaps have a sugar sugar line dance instruction? After watching you I seem to battle with the others.
Thanks!
Oh wow thank you for that!! Your the first to do that (didn't even know that was an option lol) So glad you enjoyed!!!

Keep it up Brenda! Line dancing is an amazing way to stay for and sharp at any age!!! Thank you for dancing with us.
i just was able to learn the electric slide off your video, thank you!
also, you're super cute!
You are adorable! Thanks for the tutorial I had no idea how to do this slide...but adding it to my skill set now!
Nice job 👍🏻 I’m using it for my Class. ❤️❤️❤️
I love it! Would you make a tutorial for our new line dance? This song is so much fun. John Wayne's Impossible Groove Machine Line Dance 😂
you are so good and have been very helpful----From Oregon
Hey you r really good u should do a line dance video from the song Any Man of Mine by Shania twain
I’m going to watch this a few times.
Ive never understood why it goes 1234, 1234, 1234, 12, then screw 34, just start over even though you're in the middle of a verse. Throws the whole thing off.
@@Briansgate yes, I though this. I’ve RUclipsd lots and they all do it. It would flow so much better with another little. 😊
Ha..!!! It’s 2022 and I finally learned how to do the electric slide!! Thanks…!!!
I never did the electric slide with my friends at prom, or at my friend’s wedding. I recently learned how to do the electric slide, unfortunately I was dancing alone meaning it was too little too late. Had a good time though.
Excellent... Thank you
My 8th grade PE class used this video to teach us the electric slide.
Four years later and best example of the dance!
Thank you so much! My assignment in school I to record myself doing school appropriate dances and this is one (I think)
wow. So helpful. Wow. So Beautiful.
You have an amazing rear end !
Love you and thank you very much !!!!
You are so welcome!

Cool! I did this for my freshman pe class earlier in January but instead we did it to Hicktown by Jason Aldean
🎉 thank you!
Great job with the instruction ❤️ I just found out I have zero rythum🤔😂

It’s because the ‘spin’, or ‘stomp-knee’ or ‘stomp-kick’ is a _reduced version_ of the original “electric-”(stomp-), “slide”(literally slide).
The dance we all know is (almost) two sets of eight:
*First Eight*

1-4 _Two steps back(add flavour🌶 or ✨shimmy)_ *
5-6 _Step-knee, Step-kick …OR ELECTRIC SLIDE_ 🎉😂 **
_(7-8) fly, land, recover, freestyle_ 💃🏾 ***
* For the two steps back… imagine a plane taxiing on a runway preparing for takeoff or a feline (cat, lion, tiger, panther) backing up and preparing for a jump pounce. This is the preparation for the amazing electric slide… (or stomp-turn in line-dancing)
** In line-dancing, the step-kick(cowboys n cowgirls) or step-knee(african diaspora) is a TURN(bring the right should from behind to in front, turning anti-clockwise)… the turn replaces the step-slide(which is the electric slide) because when you’re line dancing all together there is no space for everyone to step(on beat 5) and go flying sideways (beats 6,7,8)
*** Beats 7 & 8 are omitted when line dancing because the slide is cut short 😭
However, if you have plenty of space, bring back the SLIDE inna de (in the) electric slide 😄⚡️🛝
THANK YOU. I was so confused at why the sequences weren't all 8 counts.
It's an 18 count dance, makes it confusing. Experienced dancers don't need to get bored. Put a roll in the left vine (counter clockwise) and a clockwise roll going back three counts. Jazzes everything up
Thank you👍
This dance was one of the first dances I did 26 years ago
You couldn't be more attractive and American than that! 😍
Pretty sure we done this without the little extra step in the country bars and it was called, the bus stop
Growing up doing square dancing I grow up on this line dance
I think this dance started in jamaican i was doing this back in the 80s
This is some country line dancing this is definitely not the actual electric slide. It and looks like she put some country flare on the real electric slide lol
Your explanation is amazing 😉 I wish u make k-pop tutorials u gonna blow YT up
😂😂😂😂😂😂 when I saw the boots I knew there wouldn't be rhythm
