Here’s a basic breakdown of six fundamentals of Baltimore Club dance, which can be combined and improvised upon to create new moves, according to dance instructor Terry “TSU Terry” Wedington. But like any dance move, it’s better to show than to tell. Head over to baltimoresun.com to watch a video and various .gif tutorials from Wedington .

Cherry Hill: Originally called the “What What,” this move requires the dancer to lift up one bent leg over the other in a rapid and continuous, hopping-like movement. Dance instructor Terry Wedington calls it a “footwork groove.”

Spongebob: This move requires dancers to jump out to one side on one foot, almost in a leaning position, and then to immediately bend the knee of the other leg in. Repeat at a fast pace, rotating between legs, for what is one of Baltimore’s most prolific moves, according to Wedington.

Sidekick: Just as it sounds, the legs are thrust out to the side in a rhythmic pattern. The arms are rotated over the head and back down, or in a style that sometimes matches the movement of the legs.

Crazy legs: This dance move looks just as it sounds, with a rapid, in-and-out shaking of the knees and a simultaneous tap of the feet and a bouncing of the shoulders for added style.

Heel toe: This combination of footwork often involves touching the heel of one foot and the toe of another to the ground at the same time, but it can vary in style by city. In Baltimore, dancers rotate movements of the heel and the toe in an improvised manner, often switching it up to match the beat.

Power step: Also synced to the beat, the power step is an energetic step to the front, back or to the side. Dancers often lift their arms over their head or moving them rhythmically to the beat for added punctuation.
