The three dance crazes of our generation: TEACH ME HOW TO DOUGIE

Hi readers! This blog post of mine is all about the "Teach me how to Dougie", "Oppa Gangnam Style" , and the "Harlem Shake" also known as the three biggest and the most trending dance actions in our generation today. This will be divided to three blog posts so this first post will feature the first dance craze.

TEACH ME HOW TO DOUGIE

"Teach Me How to Dougie" is a song recorded by American hip hop group Cali Swag District. The track was produced by Runway Star for Cali Swag District's debut studio album, The Kickback (2011). The song was written by Chanti Glee, Charon Childs, and Corey Fowler. The song was released digitally on April 12, 2010 as the first single from the album through Capitol Records. The song refers to the Dougie dance, which originated in Dallas, Texas.

A dance move that refers back to Doug E Fresh, an original rapper from the late 1980s, referenced as early as the mid 90s by the Beastie Boys as "fresh as Dougie." See the Wikipedia page on Doug E Fresh for the proper dance moves.

"Teach Me How to Dougie" was a commercial success, and peaked at number 28 on the Billboard Hot 100, peaked at number 9 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and peaked at number 6 on the Hot Rap Songs. It was certified platinum in the United States.

The song's accompanying music video was directed by Yolande Geralds. The video shows Cali Swag as well as other people partying, dancing and skateboarding.
