POP DANCE
RUNNING MAN
The Running Man dance was developed by hip hop
artist MC Hammer, and it was originally called,
“the Hammer”.
The dance move was performed by MC Hammer
and Vanilla Ice during live shows on music videos.
DANCE STEPS OF THE RUNNING MAN
• 1. Stand with your feet together, arms relaxed by your sides.
• 2. Lift and bend your right leg, forming a 90 degree angle with your knee and the
floor. Lift and bend your arms, elbows out to the sides with relaxed fists.
• 3. Lower your right leg, sliding your left leg backward and lifting the left heel, while
leaning slightly forward onto the right leg. Push your arms down with relaxed fists.
• 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3, with the other leg. So you will bend and lift your leg this
time. When the left leg hits the ground, shift your weight onto it and slide the right
leg back, before pumping it back up again.
• 5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with alternating legs quickly and smoothly, typically to the
beat of the music.
