Old school: The dances we remember

No Lambeau Leap, Mile High Salute or Fun Bunch group high-fives in this category, although those celebrations will go down in history. We want to see some rhythm. That said, here are José Miguel Romero's five favorite old-school dances from former NFL players.

1. The Ickey Shuffle

Former Cincinnati Bengals' running back Elbert "Ickey" Woods was the toast of the NFL as a rookie in 1988, when he helped lead the Bengals to Super Bowl XXIII. Woods ran for 1,066 yards and 15 touchdowns, but was best known for his touchdown dance, in which he would hop to the left, hop to the right, spike the ball and then twirl his right index finger over his head shouting "Woo! Woo! Woo!" while moving his hips.

2. The Dirty Bird

When running back Jamal Anderson and his Atlanta Falcons' teammates would score, it was time to do the Bird, the dance craze of 1998. Accompanied by Morris Day and the Time singing one of their hits, "The Bird," over Georgia Dome loudspeakers, the Falcons players would hop to the left and right, raise a fist and pull it down like a trucker pulling his horn, and flap their elbows.

3. The California Quake

Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Butch Johnson drew critical acclaim — and criticism for showboating — with this number from the late 1970s and early 1980s. Johnson, who played in college at California-Riverside, would moonwalk, spike the ball and waggle his knees from side to side with his hands formed into pistols shooting in the air.

4. Prime Time

Deion "Prime Time" Sanders personified the flashiness of the NFL in the 1990s when he would celebrate interceptions and touchdowns with some high-stepping and smooth sliding in the end zone. He would hold up the ball in one hand and stutter-step on his toes from side to side. Fans in Atlanta, Dallas and San Francisco couldn't get enough of it.

5. The Electric Slide

Former Houston Oilers wide receiver Ernest Givins wasn't a big man at 5-foot-9, 170 pounds, but he was a big-time performer with his Electric Slide touchdown dance in the late 1980s. In the end zone, Givins would hold out the ball, stretch one leg out to the side and drag it toward his other leg while in a crouch.
