22 songs with dance moves

by Aaron Zorgel

The rise of Brooklyn rapper Bobby Shmurda can be largely attributed to the popularization of the “Shmoney Dance,” a move where he tosses off his hat and, uh, wiggles from left to right? Aaron Shmorgel can’t really get it right (see: the intro video to this playlist), but he’ll take any excuse to revisit some songs that have their own dance moves, and some dance moves that inspired songs.
