What Reddit Has to Say

We turned to the internet to see what people had to say about their favorite 90s dance moves. It turns out, people have some interesting memories (and dance moves) to share!

One Reddit user, bubbly_opinion99, brought up a dance called the Nordic Track, which they described as a move that involves hopping from foot to foot, forward and back. Apparently, it was also known as Candywalking, and it definitely had a rave-like vibe. We hadn’t heard of it before, but after a quick search, we were fascinated by how obscure yet unique this 90s dance craze really was.

Another Reddit user, Wide-Cookie-5609, mentioned the Boot Scootin’ Boogie, a line dance that became popular in the 90s, especially in country music circles. Although not as mainstream as some others, the Boot Scootin’ Boogie was definitely a staple for certain crowds during the 90s.


Fun Questions: Your Favorite 90s Dance Crazes

What would people think if you broke out The Carlton in the middle of your next meeting? Tune in to hear our take on these questions and some amusing insights from the crew.

But in the meantime, let’s think about a few other questions:

  • Do you still do any of these dances? You might not catch us busting a move in public, but there are definitely moments when the old-school Sprinkler comes out—though usually, it’s just in the comfort of the kitchen! Is that something we should be ashamed of? You’ll hear more about our inside jokes and dance floor fails when you listen to the full episode.

  • Which 90s dance move would you want to see make a comeback? If we had it our way, The Carlton would make a huge comeback. Imagine seeing it on TikTok or at the grocery store when you score a great deal. Can you picture the scene? We sure can!
