Want to bring the 80’s right into your livingroom? Us neither. But you still might want to dress up and dance to the music of your fave, bigpants flameout from that decade, MC Hammer.
Hampertime!
STEP ONE: Find some long sleeve jammies, and put legs through the armholes and head through waist opening. There it is: A DIY version of those droopy-crotch genie pants that make your wiggly legs look even wigglier. Feel the surge of untamed rhythm ready to burst free at the slightest musical provocation.
Feelin’ hype in the stripe
STEP TWO: Put on music. Now elevate your appendages aloft and agitate them as if you have no concerns. Grimace for additional artistic impact.
Putting the ham in Hammer
STEP THREE: Step left, and double punch, shoulder roll to a swing walk. Now do a triple tiger hand reverse, transitioning to double-mantis cabbage patch. In other words, freestyle.
Break it down… then please put all the pieces away.
STEP FOUR: Step right, turning in. Strike a player pose and FREEZE. Brrrr.
Turn those leggings into headings
STEP FIVE: Turn back to center, grab the legs hanging down and do something flippy and insouciant with them.
Aannnnd…scene.
STEP SIX: Collapse to the floor as if in deep emotional distress. Hold for applause.
Fifty thousand Infinity style points
STEP SEVEN: Repeat with partner. Rehearse and blow away all competition in national contests by racking up ridiculously high scores solely on style points.
