5. The Running Man is a street and fad dance that originated in late 1986
early 1987 and was performed most notably by MC Hammer, LMFAO,
and Vanilla Ice during their live concert shows and music videos, but
achieved renewed popularity in the 2000s. It is also used in some forms
of the Melbourne Shuffle dance style. It consists of a hopping or sliding
step done in such a way at speed to simulate a runner.
The Running Man craze started in Cardiff, Wales. It features many people
dancing the Running Man and ends with the "rights" to the dance being
signed over to MC Hammer under duress.
The Running Man dance is also popular in PlayStation Home for
PlayStation 3 where people line their avatars up in long train lines and
perform the dance.
Will Smith performed the running man in Drums and dance as his old
title, Fresh Prince.
The dance Jumpstyle similarly contains moves whereby the legs are
swung back and forth, almost imitating the running man in an airborne
manner.
Shuffling also originated from B boy. B boys called it the
running man.

6. The Melbourne Shuffle (also known as Rocking or simply
The Shuffle) is a rave and club dance that originated in the
late 1980s in the underground rave music scene in
Melbourne, Australia. The basic movements in the dance
are a fast heel-and-toe action with a style suitable for
various types of electronic music. Some variants incorporate
arm movements. People who dance the shuffle are often
referred to as rockers, due in part to the popularity of
shuffling to rock music in the early 1990s.
The Electro Hop group LMFAO featured several electro house dancers
performing the shuffle in their "Party Rock Anthem" music video. LMFAO
also organized an online shuffle contest for their video, the winner appeared
in their Party Rock Anthem video. LMFAO are seen doing the Shuffle in the
music videos for their singles Champagne Showers, Sexy and I Know It,
Sorry for Party Rocking.

8. Origin
Drifting as a driving technique is documented as early as the 1930s as being used by drivers of the Grand
Prix cars of the day. At least one piece of extant period footage used to promote the sale of a rare Auto Union
D-Type racer clearly depicts the driver throwing his vehicle into a controlled drift to navigate a bend in the
road racing track.[2]
Modern drifting as a sport started out as a racing technique popular in the All Japan Touring Car
Championship races. Motorcycling legend turned driver, Kunimitsu Takahashi, was the foremost creator of
drifting techniques in the 1970s. He is noted for hitting the apex (the point where the car is closest to the
inside of a turn) at high speed and then drifting through the corner, preserving a high exit speed. This earned
him several championships and a legion of fans who enjoyed the spectacle of smoking tires. The bias ply
racing tires of the 1960s-1980s lent themselves to driving styles with a high slip angle. As professional racers
in Japan drove this way, so did the street racers.
Keiichi Tsuchiya (known as the Dorikin/Drift King) became particularly interested by Takahashi's drift
techniques. Tsuchiya began practicing his drifting skills on the mountain roads of Japan, and quickly gained a
reputation amongst the racing crowd. In 1987, several popular car magazines and tuning garages agreed to
produce a video of Tsuchiya's drifting skills. The video, known as Pluspy, became a hit and inspired many of
the professional drifting drivers on the circuits today. In 1988, alongside Option magazine founder and chief
editor Daijiro Inada, he would help to organize one of the first events specifically for drifting called the D1
Grand Prix. He also drifted every turn in Tsukuba Circuit in Japan.

9. Present day
Drifting has evolved into a competitive sport where drivers compete
mostly in rear-wheel-drive cars, to earn points from judges based on
various factors. At the top levels of competition, the D1 Grand Prix in
Japan pioneered the sport. Others such as Formula D in the United
States, and the NZ Drift Series in New Zealand have come along to
further expand it into a legitimate motor sport worldwide. The drivers
within these series were originally influenced by the pioneers from D1
Japan and are able to keep their cars sliding for extended periods of
time, often linking several turns.
