Can You Do the Limbo Rock?

Tweet

I forgot, so you can remind me but even if in the posts I wrote about dancing I mentioned limbo, this is a bit different. I thought I knew all about Chubby Checker and then bumped into his “Limbo Rock” on YouTube. It's very interesting, and I want to share it with you. Basically, limbo is a rhythmic folk dance that started in Trinidad and Tobago. It is the same limbo that you’ve seen, where people try to pass backward under a horizontal bar and get under and out from it without touching the bar or knocking it down. However, since I was a great lover of dancing and doing dances of all kinds, it seems I have missed one, and so here it is. And yes, in the song, he asks, "Who goes under the limbo stick?" Who has done the Limbo Rock?
