Mahalo dance expert Teresa "Toogie" Barcelo explains how to do the cat daddy.
A Little Background
This move started out in Texas as the "Ricky Bobby," but was adapted into its current form by the West Coast group, The Rej3ects. The "Cat Daddy" move as shown here comes from a song of the same name by The Rej3ects featuring Chris Brown. You can add this move to the dougie while your out dancing or trying to show off your cool new moves to your friends.
Steps to the Cat Daddy
1. Start by dipping your hips a little while crossing one arm in front of you and one arm in the back of you.
2. After doing this, change your arm path to a wheel pattern, rolling your arms forward in a circle. Make sure your hips are rocking back and forth during this. *Your whole upper body should be bouncing in rhythm with your hips.
3. You can change the level of your cat daddy by doing it down low while balancing on the balls of your feet and bringing it back up to a standing cat daddy. *You can also do the cat daddy backwards or switch sides.
4. Whatever variation you choose, it's a still a cat daddy as long as you are doing the wheeling motion with your arms and bouncing your hips back and forth.
