1923: the Charleston
The Charleston hit the mainstream in 1923 after it was used in the Broadway show "Runnin' Wild," in which there was a song called "The Charleston." It continued to be a staple of the Roaring '20s.
Watch the Charleston here.
1941: the Lindy hop
The Lindy hop, named for pilot Charles Lindbergh, was first done in the '20s. But as swing music became more and more popular throughout the US, it hit its peak during the '40s.
The 1941 movie "Hellzapoppin" is credited with having one of the best examples of the Lindy hop and group swing choreography.

1953: the hokey pokey
Still a children's favorite due to its simple moves and instructive lyrics, the hokey pokey has been around for decades. It's been through multiple iterations, but the first that resembles the one we listen to today was recorded in 1953 by Ray Anthony's orchestra. It hit No. 13 on the charts.

1962: the limbo
The limbo had some dark origins — according to the New York Post, it originated in Trinidad and Tobago during the slave trade. It became a popular dance in America when, in 1962, Chubby Checker recorded his song "Limbo Rock." His line "How low can you go?" is still associated with the limbo to this day.

1964: the jerk
Not to be confused with the 2000s dance fad called "jerkin'," the jerk was popular in the '60s. Two different songs were released in 1964 about the jerk: "The Jerk," by the Larks, and "Come on Do the Jerk," by the Miracles.

1975: the time warp
"The Time Warp" is a song and dance from the 1975 musical film "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." The film has gained a cult following in the years since its release, making the time warp just as relevant as ever.
It also doesn't hurt that the lyrics explicitly state what to do, like "It's just a jump to the left, and then a step to the right."

1978: the YMCA
Has a dance ever been so simple? The YMCA is self-explanatory — the moves are right there in the name. The Village People's song "Y.M.C.A." was released in 1978 and ended up becoming their biggest hit.

1980: the worm
The worm is just one of a few popular breakdancing moves, but it's definitely the most recognizable — and most attempted. Breakdancing had been popular in certain communities throughout the '60s and '70s but began rising in popularity once Michael Jackson adopted the style.

1981: the chicken dance
"I don't wanna be a chicken, I don't wanna be a duck" probably brings back memories of playing around with your friends at school or listening to it incessantly at children's birthday parties. Though the song, or a version of the song, was written in the 1950s, the version we've come to know and love wasn't solidified until 1981.
The song was played at a German-themed Oktoberfest celebration in Tulsa, Oklahoma, when it was still about ducks. However, the only costume lying around was a chicken suit, so the crowd learned the chickendance, and the rest is history.

1983: the moonwalk
Michael Jackson, for most of the '80s, originated a few dance crazes. The first was the moonwalk, which he did for the first time while performing his song "Billie Jean" in 1983.
Often imitated, never duplicated, the moonwalk gives the illusion that the dancer is somehow gliding backwards.

1984: the "Thriller" dance
And just one year later, Jackson was at it again with the choreography used in "Thriller." Thankfully, these dance moves were a bit easier to perform than the moonwalk, and the dance lives on in pop culture today, from the dance scene in "13 Going On 30" to the re-creation of the song in an episode of "Glee."

1989: the electric slide
The electric slide is performed to the song "The Electric Boogie," which was first released in 1976. However, the 1989 cover by Marcia Griffiths is what propelled it back into the nation's consciousness. Now, it's a favorite at weddings and school dances for its simplicity.

1990: the Humpty dance
"The Humpty Dance" is a song by rap group Digital Underground. It was released in 1990, and introduced the world to Humpty Hump, a court jester-esque figure who only wanted to dance to his heart's content.
The Humpty dance itself is performed by both Humpty and his back-up dancers during the music video, and is essentially just criss-crossing your feet then throwing your arm up in the air.

1991: the Hammer dance
MC Hammer, an iconic '90s rapper, created the Hammer dance in the music video for his song "U Can't Touch This" in 1991. All it takes to perform the Hammer dance is a pair of enormously baggy pants and the ability to move from side to side on your tiptoes.

1992: the Carlton dance
"The Carlton" refers to Alfonso Ribeiro 's character on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," Carlton Banks. His trademark happy dance, usually set to Tom Jones' "It's Not Unusual," was first seen in a season two episode of the show in 1992.

2000: the "Cha-Cha Slide"
"The Cha-Cha Slide" is another song that teaches dancers exactly how to do the accompanying dance. The lyrics are "Slide to the left, slide to the right, one hop this time," and so on. And who among us doesn't immediately say "everybody clap your hands" after someone else says "freeze?" The song was released in 2000 by Mr. C The Slide Man.

2001: the choreography from "Bye Bye Bye"
The iconic dance moves of NSYNC from their 2001 song "Bye Bye Bye" have lived on years after the band broke up. It's no coincidence they performed the song and dance at their 2013 semi-reunion at the VMAs. The jumps and hand waves have come to be a shorthand for all boyband choreography.

2002: the "Ketchup" dance
Spanish girl group Las Ketchup had one big song, "The Ketchup Song," which was released in 2002. The dance that went along with the nonsensical song immediately swept the nation, and Las Ketchup still performs the song with the same choreography to this day.

2006: the "Chicken Noodle Soup" dance
"Chicken Noodle Soup" might have been one of the more random hits of 2006, but the dance was everywhere. During the chorus, dancers mimed rain falling down and then cleared it away, just like the lyrics said — "Let it rain, and clear it out" over and over again.

2007: the "Cupid Shuffle"
The "Cupid Shuffle" is the dance that goes along with the song of the same name by Cupid, released in 2007. The song helpfully tells dancers exactly what to do with lyrics like "To the right, to the right, to the right ..."
It's turned into a popular line dance at dances, parties, and sporting events.

2012: The "Gangnam Style" dance
At one point the most viewed video on YouTube, "Gangnam Style" is a song by Korean rapper Psy. Throughout the video, which has been viewed over three billion times, Psy does a variation on what looks like riding a pony. It spawned many parody videos and was one of the biggest songs and dances of 2012.

2013: twerking
To be clear, twerking has been around much longer than 2013. It has its roots in the '90s bounce music scene. But 2013 is when the dance move, for better or worse, hit the cultural zeitgeist. People around the country couldn't stop talking about Miley Cyrus's penchant for twerking, whether it was in the music video for "We Can't Stop" or up against Robin Thicke at the VMAs.
