"Watusi-ing"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Watusi

The Watusi (Dance to moderate tempo)

Stance:
Stand with your feet about 12 inches apart. Keep both knees bent at
all times. Pretend you are going to take a golf club swing.

Hip Movement:
On the count of one, shift weight to right foot, making right hip move
out to the right.
On the count of two, shift weight to left foot, making left hip move
out to the left. Move from side to side with hips swinging right to
left to a 1-2, 1-2 rhythm.

Arm Movement:
Hold arms out in front of you as if you were holding a golf club.
Swing hands to your right, then down in a semicircular motion to your
left, back to right, then to left, counting 1-2, 1-2.

Putting Them Together:
Now do the hand and hip movements simultaneously from right to left on
a count of 1-2.

Tree Section

Section of Manhattan Beach west of Sepulveda Blvd, filled with family
homes. Generally more upscale than Doc's neighborhood. The moniker
comes from the streets all being named for trees.
