The Eagle Rock (a dance movement)

First you put your knees together, close up tight,
Then you sway 'em to left , then you sway 'em to the right.
(a modified Georgia Grind)
Step around the floor kind of nice and light,
(a Cat Walk?)
Then you twist around, and twist around with all your might,
(a hip / Pelvis Roll)

Stretch your ever-lovin' arms way out in space,
(like extended eagle wings)
Then you do the Eagle Rock with style and grace,
Swing your foot way 'round, then bring it back,
Now that's what I call ballin' the jack"...

In a 1942 Gene Kelly movie, this song and dance
was displayed. In 1951, Dean Martin did the
song and dance. How many, oh, how many times
have we all been asked, "What's the Eagle Rock
and how do you do it?" Next time someone asks
you, you tell `em:

"The eagle rock dance movement is performed by
extending the arms like outstretched eagle wings
and gently swaying back and forth emulating the
movements of an eagle floating in the wind."
