Nutbush Dance - 2 versions - Old / New - Trucker Pete 

i was today years old when i learned of this phenomenon about Tina Turner and Australia!!! that's amazing that they have so much love for her work and this song. I love Australia for this!

The Old Version is Best R.I P Tina Queen of Rock❤

Nahh like the old version way better

This has got my day off to a brilliant start ! I am going to learn the nutbush(traditional version) in honour of dear Tina and as my duty as an Australian. Thank you Peter !!

RIP Tina. Nutbush was her first hit in South Africa 50 years ago, we love her just as much down here but we also didn't know this dance.

They just played this on the radio so I searched for the dance as it’s been years since I’ve danced it. RIP to the Queen of Rock, Tina Turner. This song reminds me of group dancing it at various RSL and leagues clubs during my late teens the early 90s

I've definitely done the "new version" a few times just to mess with people.

You are great Trucker Pete.. i don't like the new version, but then I'm a child of the 80s!

REST IN PEACE to TINA TURNER may this dance keep her voice alive

I’m from the US I just heard about this dance and I had to look up it looks so fun to do

Well played Peter. I am incorporating the low impact version into an exercise class for clients with Parkinsons Disease today.

Flashback for me. I totally forgot how it went. Thanks for reminding me although I still haven’t mastered it yet. Makes me feel good again.

I've done both versions. I never knew that we Aussies were the only country in the world to do this. Yep... we're awesome... Vale Tina.

Hey, what a fantastic video!! We are recently listening to Tina Turner songs after she said we passed away, and my mum mentioned that when we lived over in Brisbane in Queensland that her work colleague on her, leaving, do started dancing to Nutbush city and telling her all about it being a big Queensland thing. Then I surprised her by actually getting up and starting to do the dance exactly like the old version you are doing. She was like what I had no idea you knew about this and that you could do the dance as she didn’t know that I knew all about it. I learnt how to do the dance whilst I was working in a youth hostel in Brisbane and we would always show the tourist distance so surprise Mum.

I just heard on the news that there's a new world record of Aussies doing the (I'm thinking), original version. Such fun watching, after so many years. I'm going to ask my (millenial), daughter to play it at her wedding next year. She may need to ask guests to watch the video to learn!. I know it will be such fun😂😂

Hi Peter, Doing what you do best DANCING!!!! I remember when the "NEW" Madison dance came out. Oh my gosh, when you broke that out in the middle of the first Madison at a party or social gathering, people used to back away & give you room, so they could see what you were doing. It was like being John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, when they clear the dance floor & he does his Solo dance to You Should Be Dancing. Oh Halcyon days!!!! Now I'm really showing my age !!!!! Great Dance Tutorial as always. You shouldn't be that fit, it's all that "Lofty" Running. Thanks for another fabulous download. Say Hello to your Dad for us. LOVE Ruth. 🎶🕺💃🎼💖💚💛💙❤💜😎🔥💥🎤🎶💋💋

Love it one way to keep fit

I bet your neighbour was having a laugh while you made this video, but it's all fun. Hoping to surprise a good mate next time we catch up, she and her brother always do the dance when the song comes on. Now I can too :)

Fajne ćwiczenia 😂😂😂 poranny Aerobic.

Love the new version! What a greater reminder! You’re truly an Australian hero!

Man this is epic, I dunno how your not viral but I’m 11 and it’s my formal so I need to learn the nut bush, thanks

Between this and the eagle drop they are staples to all our family events

You're an absolute legend!! Cheers mate ;)

I don’t know what country you’re in, but I have never seen this dance! Or heard the song. Very interesting. My sister and I watched your disco videos and really enjoyed them, and did many of the moves at the last 70s DJ dance we went to! Stay cool, and thank you! 🎉😊

Love seeing the new one

hahaha love it. I remember doing the old version in primary school and hated it as we had to practice it all the time. I love the macarena in it its so funny. This should go viral.

I remember doing a way more complicated version of the first version you did, and I thought the second version was going to be that. Then I saw you mention it was the madison, and went down that rabbithole, and what do you know, I saw all the moves we did in the super complicated version of version #1. Fun. And now I have to go and learn me how to madison again because that was so much fun. :)

Everyone has always looked at me like I’m crazy when I say that there’s another version of the Nutbush! I knew I didn’t make it up 🤣 will be pulling out this one at the next event haha. Great video!

Awesome!

Love it! Thankyou! :)

I always was taught the transition was a four count I’m fairly sure. Jump legs spread, jump to cross the legs, jump turn, legs together, start anew. Yours is only three count with an extra count of rest at the end which might work better.

Thank you so much. I needed to look for an original Macarena or Nutbush or make my own version but luckily i found this and this is perfect for my assignment. Again thank you so much 😊

omg how awesome hmmmm not sure if i like number 2 but love this anyway,thank you :)

Thank you this is for my class it helps bring back memories too

OMG I ENJOYED THIS SO MUCH You're like the COOLEST guy ever

The old version is the best

Low impact aerobics 😉👍👍👍👍

The moves look like my aquarobics routine and I hope the instructor will play Nutbush.

Luv it🤩

Cool..you had very good explained.But I would try the first Version without Jump..😁But it was a Joy to see..I love this Song.You did it really good👍💃🙏

In a war all you'd have to do is play the nutbush and you'll have all the Australians jump out of trenches and start dancing.

This is the best!!! 😂

Very enjoyable way of exercising :) Love your style

I have been looking for the new version for so long!,, I know we did this version in school but no one else remembers it. Thank you!!!!!

Love it

The No Jump option, the no this option, the No that option, f’ing heck 😂 crack up

When we used to do Nutbush in primary school we used to shout “Eat my shorts” during the jump

can't say I like the new version, but also your transition is different to the one I learned many years ago.

Just seen you on current affair.. you’re a bloody legend and should be in charge of immigration.. will follow you for more dance tips 🕺🏽

I love you Trucker Pete, you're a DANCER not a trucker, haha

yes the good old days

he ate

Pretty sure I did the old version for my dinner dance

We just did the bump here in the UK.

The original is better however the new one is also cool. Probably old folks could manage that better. The steps instead of jumps are clever. Still l like to jump. 😂

Eat yer heart out, Chuck Norris!

lol i know this roller skating in sydney in the 80s

Hey Pete! Can you do ooops side your head by the gap band old 70s boat song ???

We did this on skates at the Roller Rink (Rollerama) in the early 80s. I think the back step was a double roll back? And the 1/4 turn was mayve been a rolling version too? But in the late 70s disco era we did it much like yours, but for the turn, thought we jumped 'out' before cross leg, 1/4 turn ...to make it a 4 beat move rather that a hold for 4 (or8). But i may be wrong? Also there was a other linedance done in aussie nightclubs in the mid 80s ...think it was called the 'bus stop'? But i never learned it. Anyone know the bus stop??

I was dancing to this the traditional way the way i was taught in primary back in 2016 when i found out she died

Great! I still prefer the original though.

Hi Peter, I don't know what you've started, but everytime I look at something on YT, there's another pop up of people dancing to THE NUTBUSH, & a lot of them are a few years old. Still nowhere near as good as yours never in a million years!! I think it might be having a comeback???? 🙋‍♀️😎💜❤💙💛💖💚😆😊💕💕💕💋14.12.20.

Looks like you're mixing the macarena into the Nutbush. Let's just keep it to the original 🤣

If it aint broke why fix it

Love the old version. The new one looks too much like Macarena ✋

New version looks like an adapted Macarena

Bahaha I think the new version is only in his head

The first dance is the madison and was around before nutbush city limits came out in 1973. When Tina Turner re released nutbush I believe in the 90s this was developed and every body hated it

Originally every time..

他の動画とタイミングが半拍違うようだけど、どちらが正しいんですか？

Love the second version. It looks so good the way you dance. Lots of love, Edith

The original one was hard enough to do when drunk. Got no hope with that new one...

Cherylyn Barnes invented this. You should credit her for her invention sorta thing.

The new version is kinda just the Macarana?

that's basically just the Macarena, and actually at my childhood discos, people would sometimes do the Macarena to Nutbush so its not really that new

So basically the dance is a mix of the Macarena and the nutbush...in which one of my church mates can do flawlessly

Fucken oath brotha

The new version is like the Macarena

Nutbush song with macarena moves ….. love it

Aaaaarrrggghhhhh! NO! The jump is all wrong! It goes out, cross, out, turn (all whilst jumping). None of this cross first, pause last BS. Sincerely, A passionate Nutbusher

Old

That’s the Macarena gone wrong dude - what you call the new version

Yeah nah there's only one version and it is jumping, jumping and more jumping then out, cross, out turn.

The new version isn’t so new. I was dancing this version in 2001.

Nooooooo. You cant change it. Us Aussies made it up 😩

The f is that second thing?

Your "original" version turn is the criss cross turn, which is NOT the original version. I'm 60 and have been doing the Nutbush for over 35 years so and it was always a jump, then feet together with clap, THEN back into side steps

Just No .... Original is always the best

Your new version is a bit too much like The Macarena. Can't change it. The original or nothing for me.

Can you at least make the steps 12 bars long to match the phrases of the song? It doesn't feel natural to do the kick, kick, jump, cross, jump, together in the middle of a lyric.

WOULD YOU PLEASE SELL ME THOSE NIKES YOU ARE WEARING??????

What?!?! There’s a new version?! Seriously?? Lol

If Ukranian troops blasted this out of loud speakers while doing the dance the Russians would surrender in droves and come over to their side!

The new version is sinful.

The low impact is good for old people but the new one is shite. The macarena is a different dance to the Nutbush. There is one Nutbush dance dating back to NSW, Australia,1970's. No country tries to ruin its heritage (even 20th century heritage) by "adapting" things like a known dance - only bogans with no sense of culture would do that. Imagine the Ukrainians doing that with the kozachuk. Simply wouldn't happen.

Don't like the new version

Sorry but this is not what I learnt in the 70’s at school dance lessons, difference in jump turn. We jumped with a split then jump legs together and clap, not the fancy cross your legs jumps. I’m actually teaching my little one how to do it the ORIGINAL way. She no doubt will learn updated version at school. Looking forward to the ribbing she’s going to give me 😆😆😆
