Nutbush Dance - 2 versions - Old / New - Trucker Pete

[@robramirez221]

i was today years old when i learned of this phenomenon about Tina Turner and Australia!!! that's amazing that they have so much love for her work and this song. I love Australia for this!

@@petergaston-danceandmore, as a kid in the 70's, this dance was very popular and I remember being taught with more of the leg cross before turning to the left. Instead of the legs to the side step at the beginning we also moved the right leg forward twice, then left leg forward twice, then right leg back twice, then left leg back twice, then the rest was the same except for the cross step, as stated earlier. 🙂🕺💃

They just played this on the radio so I searched for the dance as it’s been years since I’ve danced it. RIP to the Queen of Rock, Tina Turner. This song reminds me of group dancing it at various RSL and leagues clubs during my late teens the early 90s

[@petergaston-danceandmore]

Yes - very sad. RIP Tina. The bizarre thing is that I did a TV interview on A Current Affair 2 Days ago about the 50 year anniversary of the Song. Its due to air on Saturday ... and 2 Days later the great Lady paases on!!

[@littlemisskate4254]

Hey, what a fantastic video!! We are recently listening to Tina Turner songs after she said we passed away, and my mum mentioned that when we lived over in Brisbane in Queensland that her work colleague on her, leaving, do started dancing to Nutbush city and telling her all about it being a big Queensland thing. Then I surprised her by actually getting up and starting to do the dance exactly like the old version you are doing. She was like what I had no idea you knew about this and that you could do the dance as she didn’t know that I knew all about it. I learnt how to do the dance whilst I was working in a youth hostel in Brisbane and we would always show the tourist distance so surprise Mum.

[@petergaston-danceandmore]

Awesome stuff - It's definitely an Aussie original - I was surprised that people overseas just don't know it - so many comments from the USA - they've never seen it!! - Dance on!!

Hi Peter, Doing what you do best DANCING!!!! I remember when the "NEW" Madison dance came out. Oh my gosh, when you broke that out in the middle of the first Madison at a party or social gathering, people used to back away & give you room, so they could see what you were doing. It was like being John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, when they clear the dance floor & he does his Solo dance to You Should Be Dancing. Oh Halcyon days!!!! Now I'm really showing my age !!!!!

I remember doing a way more complicated version of the first version you did, and I thought the second version was going to be that. Then I saw you mention it was the madison, and went down that rabbithole, and what do you know, I saw all the moves we did in the super complicated version of version #1. Fun. And now I have to go and learn me how to madison again because that was so much fun. :)

[@petergaston-danceandmore]

Fun times!

[@namewithheldbygoogleforsec673]

@floopyboo, yes, I remember it slightly different. We started off on the the right leg, but instead of to the right and the left, it was forward then back, and there was more of the cross leg before turning to the left.

I always was taught the transition was a four count I’m fairly sure. Jump legs spread, jump to cross the legs, jump turn, legs together, start anew. Yours is only three count with an extra count of rest at the end which might work better.

We did this on skates at the Roller Rink (Rollerama) in the early 80s. I think the back step was a double roll back? And the 1/4 turn was mayve been a rolling version too? But in the late 70s disco era we did it much like yours, but for the turn, thought we jumped 'out' before cross leg, 1/4 turn ...to make it a 4 beat move rather that a hold for 4 (or8). But i may be wrong? Also there was a other linedance done in aussie nightclubs in the mid 80s ...think it was called the 'bus stop'? But i never learned it. Anyone know the bus stop??

I agree Daniella - its not that new, in fact we were doing it before 1996 when the Macerena was released ( I didn't invent it that's for sure) It is more recent than the original dance which I remember doing at my primary school disco in the 70s - so in comparison to the original version ... it is a newer version.

The first dance is the madison and was around before nutbush city limits came out in 1973. When Tina Turner re released nutbush I believe in the 90s this was developed and every body hated it
