The Electric (better known as The Electric Slide) is a four-wall line dance. Choreographer and dancer Richard L. "Ric" Silver claims to have created the dance in 1976. The dance's popularity is sometimes attributed to "Electric Boogie", written by Bunny Wailer and recorded by Marcia Griffiths. The song was first released in December 1982. There are several variations of the dance. The original choreography has 22 steps, while variants include the Freeze (16 steps), Cowboy Motion (24 steps), Cowboy Boogie (24 steps), and Electric Slide 2 (18 steps). The 18-step variation became popular in 1989 and was listed by Linedancer Magazine as the number-one dance in the world for ten years. The original choreography was performed in two lines facing each other, with dancers circling those opposite them during the dance.
