How to do the candy cameo dance
The Electric Slide (AKA The Candy Dance)
Have you ever wondered how to dance The Electric Slide (also known as The Candy Dance)? We’ve been asked a few times recently by students to teach them the dance for parties they’re attending. Today’s lesson therefore moves on from our Beginner Guide To Disco Dancing and Saturday Night Fever lessons.
[00:00:41] We start off by showing you the first basic move of the Electric Slide. It starts with a slow chasse to the right, and back to the left again. This is followed by three walks back with a tap. To allow us to repeat this initial sequence we’ll briefly use three walks forward.
[00:03:35] Next up we finish off the routine by replacing the walks forward with the step tap and turn. This results in a quarter turn anti-clockwise to then repeat the routine facing the next wall.
Now we start to show options that you can include to make the Electric Slide routine your own. You can see a few of these options in the Candy Dance scene of the movie The Best Man.
[00:08:38] The first variation we show you is to replace the Chasse action with a Grapevine. You can choose to cross in front, or behind, or switch between.
[00:12:11] You can choose to replace the original chasse with a syncopated chasse movement.
[00:15:15] Then we talked about a few different options that you can use during the step-tap options. Whether you want to click, clap or introduce a lasso.
[00:17:56] Finally you could choose to replace your chasse or grapevine options with a spin.
[00:20:15] We finish up with a final practice of the Electric Slide routine.

We hope you enjoyed our The Electric Slide lesson.
Hopefully next time someone asks if you know the Candy Dance, or Electric Slide, it’ll be an emphatic yes!
Music Dance Playlist
A popular song choice for this is Candy by Cameo (hence it is often referred to as The Candy Dance). For music licensing reasons we use a variety of different tracks but similar speeds.
All of our song choices work well for the Electric Slide and you can enjoy our playlist below:

What is all this Candy Dance malarkey then? |
I don’t know how or why, but a few weeks ago I came up with the idea to do the biggest ‘Candy Dance’ ever on record.
It makes sense as it’s done at nearly every single party I’ve played at since I’ve been a DJ, especially at weddings and I’m quite sure that you know what it is.
I was amazed when I told some people about my ‘big idea’ and they didn’t even know what the hell I was talking about! Some people call it the Electric Slide so you get a little leeway, but C’mon son! Watch it being done here:
Do you not know what this is son? If you don’t know hurry up and learn it and get to know!
The written instructions of the dance are as follows:
(On the beat) Two steps right (1-2, 1-2)
Two steps left (1-2, 1-2)
Two steps back (1,2 – 1,2) Hold
One step with left foot forward (lean forth)
One step with Right foot Lean back
Hop ‘n’ kick sideways with right
(Repeat for all 4 corners North, south, east, west)
Now, I’m not silly enough to think that somewhere in the world (especially in the US) more than 300 people haven’t done ‘the Candy dance’ all at once before, even at the 2010 Brent Respect Festival 1000+ attempted to do it together: http://www.brent.gov.uk/media.nsf/Pages/LBB-158
But, to my knowledge (and Google’s) no one has ever done it at a party on record.
So, me being me, I contacted Guinness Book Of World Records and they told me that it’s a viable record to set. They’re processing the application now and we will be filming it for their review.
So let’s do this!

The ‘Candy Dance’ is usually done to the song ‘Candy’ by Cameo in 1986. Song is OLD son, but never seems to get old. It’s part of our history and seems like it will be current forever. If you haven’t seen the video before or didn’t even know it had a video, watch this:
It has some of the most memorable production ever and has been sampled loads of times, my favourite remakes are:
- Will Smith – Candy
- Mariah Carey – Loverboy
- 2Pac – All About You
And even this random UK one lol:
AND this one on roller skates at ‘Rollermotion’ looks kind of sick son:
Lol.
See you on the 27th.

Wizards of Revda-info.ru congratulated 33 little residents of Revda on the New Year | Society
On Saturday, December 21, in the morning, Father Frost of the City News went to visit the Revda children. In the company of the granddaughter of the Snow Maiden, he congratulated the winners of, perhaps, the kindest action - "Father Frost's Post" on the upcoming holiday. Loaded with a large bag of gifts, he looked into the houses of thirty-three children, listened to dozens of poems, saw happy children's smiles and gave gifts. nine0003
Cast
- Father Frost — Sergey Kibardin
- Snow Maiden — Tatyana Gerasimova
- Photographer, author — Tatyana Zamyatina

Six-year-old Uliana and three-year-old Eva Trudovishnikov were the first to meet the magician - with smiles and in smart dresses. The girls took turns reading poems to Grandfather and Snow Maiden and received color-changing slimes (jelly-like toys) and sweets as a gift. nine0003 Photo// Tatyana Zamyatina, Revda-info, ru Photo// Tatyana Zamyatina, Revda-info, ru
Eight-year-old Kirill Golubyatnikov is seriously interested in the Gravity Falls cartoon and knows almost everything about it (and even wears a T-shirt with images of the main characters!). The little boy told Santa Claus about his favorite work, and he gave Kirill a diary book based on the cartoon.

The boy drew several drawings for Santa Claus, showed his collection of cars and read a poem about the New Year tree dressed as a teddy bear. And Santa Claus gave him a multi-colored KAMAZ.
Two sisters, nine-year-old Ilona and three-year-old Margarita Cherednichenko, sang together a song about the Christmas tree for Grandfather and Snow Maiden. Ilona reads a lot, especially she likes encyclopedias, so the wizard gave the girl a Red Book for the New Year, and Margarita - kinetic sand. nine0003 Photo// Tatyana Zamyatina, Revda-info, ru Photo// Tatyana Zamyatina, Revda-info, ru
Eight-year-old excellent student Nastya Gostyukhina studies in the second grade of the Eurogymnasium, loves to draw and goes to music school. She has never met Grandfather Frost, so he decided to surprise the girl and came to visit with a sweet gift and books. And Nastya played her favorite piano melody for the guests.
Eight-year-old Arina Vorkunova started first grade in September, she loves to study mathematics and literature, and she also dances. She met Santa Claus with her friends, five-year-old Pasha and three-year-old Ksyusha. The children took turns reading poems and received gifts - books about animals for Arina, dumbbells for Pasha and a cute doll for Ksyusha.

The boy was a little shy about reciting the poem, but he sincerely congratulated the guests on the upcoming holiday. And the wizards gave him a robot and a book with fairy tales. nine0003 Photo// Tatyana Zamyatina, Revda-info, ru Photo// Tatyana Zamyatina, Revda-info, ru
At the home of the Plotnikovs, Grandfather Frost and the Snow Maiden met Uliana (8 years old), Liza (4 years old) and little Dima (he is a year old).
Lisa and Dima Dedushku were a little shy (of course, wizards don't come every day!), so Ulyana read poems for her brother and sister. The girl goes in for swimming and performs on stage from the theater studio Play City. For future performances, Santa Claus gave Ole a costume of Princess Jasmine, Lisa a doll, and Dima a microphone for songs. nine0003 Photo// Tatyana Zamyatina, Revda-info, ru Photo// Tatyana Zamyatina, Revda-info, ru
Next Grandfather Frost and the Snow Maiden went to visit eight-year-old Yaroslav and two-year-old Polina Perebeitos. Yaroslav is an athlete - he practices karate, skates and bikes, and also loves mathematics, fine arts and physical education. And little Polya loves dolls and her brother. Grandfather gave the kids a car on the remote control and a huge doll.

They showed Santa Claus how to sit on the twine and read New Year's poems. And they themselves made a Christmas tree with sweets and paper crafts and presented them to the guests. And in return they received large sets for creativity.
Six-year-old Lera and eight-year-old Gleb Ivkov are engaged in hand-to-hand combat and always protect and support each other. The guys told Santa Claus an instructive fable about the Dragonfly and the Ant and a poem about the Christmas tree, and Grandfather in response gave the kids a doll (for Lera) and kinetic sand (for Gleb). nine0003 Photo// Tatyana Zamyatina, Revda-info, ru Photo// Tatyana Zamyatina, Revda-info, ru
In the house of the Motherless, Grandfather Frost and the Snow Maiden were met by a funny three-year-old sailor Trofim and a six-year-old spider-man Vanya. They told the guests how they can bake pancakes, draw and read poems.
Grandfather Frost gave the kids a set of racing cars.
Five-year-old Vitalik plays dominoes well and really wants to learn how to play checkers. Therefore, when he, together with his great-grandmother, read a poem for the guests, Grandfather Frost pulled out a training set from a large magic bag. Now Vitalik will play both checkers and chess. nine0003 Photo// Tatyana Zamyatina, Revda-info, ru Photo// Tatyana Zamyatina, Revda-info, ru
Darina Fayzrakhmanova is six years old. In a festive dress, she read a poem to Santa Claus about himself and told how she loves to braid pigtails. “Then you will train,” said Santa Claus and gave the girl a mannequin doll.

On the other hand, he recited poems for everyone, treated the guests to great-grandmother's mannik and received gifts for himself and the children - Lego sets and toys. nine0003 Photo// Tatyana Zamyatina, Revda-info, ru Photo// Tatyana Zamyatina, Revda-info, ru Photo// Tatyana Zamyatina, Revda-info, ru
image of Tsar Koshchei. But not at all scary, but friendly. The boy told a poem and, together with his grandmother Anna Grigorievna, sang a folk song and danced. Grandfather gave the boy a concrete mixer truck.

She was looking forward to Grandfather's visit and asked for a unicorn costume as a gift. And she was glad when she took it out of the magic bag.
Photo// Tatyana Zamyatina, Revda-info, ru Sisters Polina and Sasha Zhifarsky are very fond of studying.
Polina will go to first grade next year, and Sasha is only five years old. In order for the girls to study well and grow up smart, Santa Claus gave them an easel and puzzles. And the girls read his favorite poems to him. nine0003 Photo// Tatyana Zamyatina, Revda-info, ru Photo// Tatyana Zamyatina, Revda-info, ru
At the end of their journey, Father Frost and the Snow Maiden came to the four-year-old Lada Teplyakova. She introduced the guests to her parents and her dolls, said that she loves to draw, sing and dance, and wished the magical heroes good health in the new year. As a gift, Lada received a real piano, but so far an electronic one.

San Andreas — Definitive Edition Radio Stations — Guides and Game Reviews
Unfortunately, not every song from the original release of GTA: San Andreas made it into the Definitive Edition trilogy.
nine0003
A remaster of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in Definitive Edition may have received updated visuals and some gameplay improvements, but it's basically the same game that was released back in October 2004.
This includes the addition of radio to GTA: San Andreas which can be played causing havoc inside the car on the roads of Los Santos, San Fierro and Las Venturas. However, due to licensing issues, not all songs from Rockstar's original release of the classic open-world shooter made it to the Definitive Edition. nine0003

Similar track cuts, unfortunately, were made for radio stations GTA 3 Definitive Edition and GTA: Vice City . However, there are still a lot of memorable classics left, and nothing has changed on the last station, WCTR, because it's a Talk Radio channel that doesn't have any music.
