Dance Craze: Teach Me How to Dougie (and Cat Daddy and Spongebob)

Soundcheck | May 3, 2012

Wrapping up our week-long series on dance, we look today at some of the most recent dance crazes to arrive via hip-hop, from the Dougie to the Cat Daddy. To help school us in the latest moves, we’re joined by New York-based dancer and choreographer Joey Dowling, as well as California-based hip hop dancer Brice Johnson, who teaches the masses about the latest street dance crazes via YouTube under the alias "Professor Lock." Plus, we’ll take your calls about the various dance crazes you’ve lived through over the years.

Learn how to "Cat Daddy" from Professor Lock, a.k.a. Brice Johnson.
