Bus stop (dance)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bus Stop is a party dance that is particularly suitable for beginners. The “jerk technique” is often used in the bus stop . Due to the many possible variations, it remains interesting even for more experienced dancers.

The line dance from the USA was also known under the names The Roach , The Walk or The Line . It is regarded as the forerunner of the legendary Night Fever dance and was first presented in 1976 at the International Dance Teacher Congress (INTAKO) in Hamburg. Dance is currently making a comeback.
