I Love George's Dancing

[Billy K.]

In the first season episode where Lionel is listening to the radio and George comes dancing out from his bedroom....

Also, when he starts to dance in "Harry's Birthday" (the 2nd season opener).

Which dance do you like the best between the TWO? I give the slight edge to the dance scene in Dinner Party because of the Jackson Five move he pulled off when he was dancing with Helen

I just found out in 2005 that the name of the dance Sherman Hemsley was doing was called the "SLOP"

By George (LOL) you are correct!!!!

Read this:

http://www.westcoastswingcanada.com/...canada_004.htm

In 1959, some of the California dance organizations, with Skippy Blair setting the pace, changed the name of Western Swing to West Coast Swing so it would not be confused with country and western dancing.

American Bandstand introduced a dance called the "Slop" which was just another term for West Coast Swing. Historically, the dance asters of America were trying to control what people danced and tried every year to create, develop and introduce new dances to the money spending public. When the music would change they would just change the name of some of the dances and re-introduce them to the public. Swing as a dance was the main dance that would be changed or another variation of the same dance was introduced. Many performers tried (and still try) to take credit for a new style by giving it a new name.

Sherman Hemsley also danced quite a bit on Amen, and danced when he did a bit on Jay Leno in 1996. Jay even said, "Take some of your money and get some DANCING LESSONS, Sherman, will ya?"

This your lucky day Solomon - YES!! it's only a couple of minutes long, because Sherman was bringing out the day's Headlines to Jay. The band played the Jeffersons' theme as he danced his way off stage.

Just the monologue and Headlines. Sherman wasn't in the rest of the episode; it was more like a cameo.
