Will Smith was busy doing the running man, Madonna was Vogue-ing and almost every single one of us were busy learning off the Macarena – something that’s probably hardwired into your brain. WHILE THE NOUGHTIES brought us the likes of gangnam style and the ‘teens’ (both this current decade and actual teenagers) gave us the ‘floss’, the 1990s were known for their iconic, and at times unusual dances.
