Slosh

[dolly]

Recently I was asked about the 'Slosh'. I was told that this is danced to a scottish country tune. Can anyone help?
Cheers

For the benefit of others (and me), can you explain exactly what the 'slosh' is?

Cheers.

It's very hard to explain the actual 'slosh' dance itself. Basically it's a type of popular line dance up here in Scotland. It's not normally done to Scottish music though. It's been very popular with young and old alike since the 70's, although I'm not entirely sure of it's origins.

I'll try post the moves in detail later when I have a little more spare time.

Perhaps a small video with you demonstrating?

Its not just Scotland- they do the same in the Welsh Valleys - Englebert "Ten Guitars" is very popular!

I've learnt something new. I thought the dance was just a regional thing up North. Pete..maybe you can do the demonstation video Daz requires..lol

Stand by Darren ere we go---its a Line Dance as far as I know and goes like this--

Grapevine to the left or shuffle two steps to the left--kick right foot or brush inside of left foot

Grapevine to the right or shuffle two steps to the right--kick left foot or brush inside of right foot

Grapevine to the left or shuffle two steps to the left--kick right foot or brush inside of left foot

Back to the right and flick left leg (like Donkey Flick at football) and touch your left foot with right hand which is now behind your back---immediately turn quarter ( 90 degrees) to the right

Raise right leg and SLAP with left or hand--or right if you are lazy

Raise left leg and CLAP both hands together under the raised left leg

START AGAIN

Most music will do--Achy Breaky Heart is what ill be using Saturday night when I call this one, if your near Braintree do come along

No doubt there are different regional versions--I saw this one on a Line Dance Video

Now Darren, ready??? 5.6.7.8

If you want to know how to do the Alley Cat I charge for that!!!!!!
