Time warp

The Time Warp is a dance from the musical The Rocky Horror Show . In the film it is used to initiate a time jump .

As a party dance , it was part of the repertoire in the 1980s and 1990s. The dancers follow the narrator's instructions.

Choreography of the dance number "Time Warp" from the Rocky Horror Picture Show by Richard O'Brien.

The refrain:

It's just a jump to the left,

and then a step to the right,

with your hands on your hips,

and bring your knees in tight!

But it's the pelvic thrust

that really drives you insane!

Let's do the time warp again!

...

So the movements:

Jump to the left,

Right step,

Hands on hips,

Kneel down

Push your pelvis forward three times.

Damian Davey , a member of the Rocky horror show ensemble, reached the top 10 of the British singles charts in 1989 with his version of Time Warp .
