How to Do the Hamster Dance

Have you ever wished to dance like a hamster? It sounds funny but there is a proper Hamster Dance that is equally famous among kids and adults. It is also called the “Hamster Dance.” It was basically put up by an intelligent Canadian arts student Deidre LaCarte from a Geocities page. This wonderful dance consists of few rows of animated (energetic) hamsters along with another group of rodents, boogieing in a variety of moves to a sped-up sample from Roger Miller’s song “Whistle Stop.” It then took no time in touching the skies and became famous all over the globe.

Doing the ‘Hamster Dance’ is not only easy and fun, but a terrific activity to keep your body in shape. Hamster Dance’s hilarious moments make it an entertaining activity for children, keeping them engaged for a long time.
