Hambone dance

Hambone dance

Learn to hambone with doo-heif Productions then try for yourself! This involves knee slapping rhythmically.

What is hambone? Well here's an idea: The Juba dance or hambone, originally known as Pattin' Juba, is a style of dance that involves stomping as well as slapping and patting the arms, legs, chest, and cheeks. It is similar to clogging and the jig, and "pattin' Juba" would be used to keep time for other dances during a walkaround. A Juba Dance performance could include: Counter-clockwise turning, often with one leg raised, stomping and slapping, various steps such as "the Jubal Jew", "Yaller Cat", "Pigeon Wing" and "Blow That Candle Out". The dance traditionally ends with a step called "the Long Dog Scratch". Modern variations on the dance include Bo Diddley's "Bo Diddley Beat".

Ow...that hurts; but that's also awesome and funny. Looks like an elaborate way to disguise slapping your meat. Imagine the rhythm you achieve when you involve the real Ham Bone.
