General: The darkest sides of Dance

dancin’ kim’s instructional dance video tutorials from the 80s

There are some secrets involved in the art of making screen shots of your own posts before publishing them, but I am a man of many secrets and will not say a word.

The painful memories

Music often evolves in the best way possible through years and general pop culture: the bad stuff gets forgotten, the good stuff gets remembered, and then the terribly bad stuff becomes a cult. The 80’s got their fair share of everything, and the worst becomes a cult way too many times.

Today, MatthewT from http://hiddenportal.info sent me a link to a Dancin’ Kim video, teaching you how to do the robot. I believe it’s fake (see the producer’s profile on imdb), and even if it is, it’s certainly a good tribute (if it’s real, I’ll be glad to be proven wrong!). Music and dance get to look at their photo album and blush with shame as these videos picture a scary but true-looking decade:

The Videos


How To Do The Robot


How To Do The Thriller


How To Learn Popping And Locking


How To Do The Cabbage Patch


How To Do The Running Man

I refuse to believe this show ran for 4 years. The 80s’ did last for 10 years, but well, they were not that video.
