  1. If I had to make a dance it would be called the Mililani. You had to do a mixture of the Charleston, break dance , and every dance you can think of because it would be awesome. So like if you are dancing to the Charleston then all of a sudden you go into a break dance then when you are done with that you go right into a tango. Man that would be a sweat dance.

  3. If I would do a Hip Hop Dance. I don't know what i would call it but yeah. It would be one of the New Days Hip Hop brought back in the olden days. It would be cool and everyone would love it. The song would be so awesome everyone would love it. But it would be like one of those fast but slow dance. That is my dance.

  5. If I could make a dance it would be the do nothing dance. It would be slow and not so exiting and the background music would be classical music. It wouldn't seem to much but it would be okay for me because I don't like dancing. I express myself by reading and staying quite.

  6. If I made a dance of my own it would be called
    "The Cha Salsa". The Cha Shim Cha Sham is a mixture of the Cha Cha and the Salsa of course. There is a line of people and there doing the Cha Cha and when they stop, they form a circle and start dancing the salsa. And when there almost done dancing, they form a line of boys and girls switching sides and then doing the Cha Cha again. And your done!I do not know if this dance was made yet?

  7. If I were to create a dance of my own it would be something like swing mixed with the Charleston because if you think about it, it would be really cool and fun and silly. The type of music I would play would have to be fast like how most swing and jitter bug music is or something very similar. I’m not sure what I would call this dance but I think it would be something cool and unique.

  9. If I had to make up a dance it would be the jig. Me and my sis where playing around one day and me loving fishing and was dying to go and my sis made up a dance called the jig. The jig is basically like your jigging but a little faster and instead of holding a rod you’re putting your hands like you where holding a rod and you move your hands up and down. And that’s the jig.

  10. If I were to make up a dance, I would make a dance where I would combine the dance from Grease and the tango together where you do the grease dance then you turn it into a very fast tango. I am not sure what I would name it. I think would make it something like "Grango". I do not think it would be a very popular dance though. I think it would be a dance that is just fun to do when you are bored.
