The Electric Slide

A person claiming to be Ric Silver sent me an email saying he owns the Electric Slide and that it is not permissible to publish the step pattern for the Electric Slide. I will never the support the any attempt to put a copyright on dance steps, because dancing is meant to be enjoyed by all. Being threatened with a court injunction, I have removed the intructions for the Electric Slide from this website.

If you came to this website because you wanted to learn the Electric Slide, I would urge you to reconsider planning some other activity or dance for your event, because by dancing the Electric Slide, you are:
1. Supporting the Copyright of dance steps
2. May find yourself served with a court injunction

There is a lot of information about the Electric Slide on other websites:
Electric Slide on Wikepedia
Electric Slide on CNET
Electric Slide on Gizmodo
Electric Slide Video Statement

EFF recently filed suit against the man who claims to have created the popular line dance "The Electric Slide" for misusing copyright law to remove an online documentary video that included footage of people trying to do the dance.
