HAPPY HEAVENLY FATHER'S DAY.. we love you and so proud of the things you done in your lifetime (GOD IS GOOD) RIP "YALL" your legacy lives on ❤❤❤❤❤ = kids ❤ = Mom
So sorry for your loss. My Dad is the same way- still- at 97! He LOVES line dancing! Actually my parents met at a dance, on the dance floor at Howard University. Dad cut in while Mom was dancing with someone else. They met and were married 68 years before Mom passed away.
I LOVE this song, I LOVE this dance (used to dance this too) and I LOVE your dad!! I watch this video from time to time and he's always the one I watch. Thank you SO much for sharing about your dad! It was wonderful to read (my dad was a WWII vet also) about my favorite video star. I'm so sorry for your loss but I'm very happy he lives on in this video that makes so many people happy! ❤ I'll never stop watching it. Blessings to your family.
Mannnnna! my Cousin turned 60 and she had this song played at her birthday party, everybody was jamming! including the Great Great Great pickneys!!! I'm almost 70, I said, I gotta learn this Zydeco Line Dance & I did ! Thank you, Thank you and Thank you, I think I got it now for my Birthday Party next year! Stay Blessed.........Ms. Jae DC
I'm like everybody else, I love watching and listening to this video. The dude in the white hat knew that he had it going on. Once I start watching this video, I play it all day long.
I've been watching this video for 14years!!!!! I LOVE IT😊❤😊 The guy in the hat and the guy in the green plaid reminds me of my brothers!!! CUT UP Y'ALL!!
Bk. Thank you for the video. These were fun times. I just really remember all the fun we had at Belvedere . And knowing several people on the dance floor was inspiring...the music makes you keep going. All nice people.... excellent video Bk. Looking for the other one you did on the same day. Please send it or post
I love it, just plain ole' good dancing, no popping and dropping, and all that jazz.. I just can't get the steps down. I need a Kush Kush for Dummies video
OOOOOO C'EST BON!! OUI TU M'DIS PAS MEZ AMI, THIS SURE IS THE HEART OF GOOD MUSIC. SHOUT OUT FROM OPELOUSAS, LA - THE ZYDECO CAPITAL OF THE WORLD!!! CAJUN/CREOLE COUNTRY ET TOI!!!!!
Keep on watching it and trying it. I did and picked it up and I know it takes me a while to catch on. I love it also. I hope to download the song and take it to my line dance class.
I just saw this dance at a cabaret last Friday night. It is so tight! I GOT DAT! I teach water aerobics and I'm going to teach it in the water along with the Electric Slide, Booty Call, Cha Cha Slide and Detroit Hustle! Et toi! DC Dolly
It's hard to see but the Steps are: Shuffle Right, Left, Right Step up on the left, cha-cha-cha back on the right, cha-cha-cha half turn up, cha-cha-cha half turn back cha-cha-cha 1/4 turn right, dance starts over.
I have seen this dance a total of 3 times in the past 2 years. It took forever to find this video. The next time I hear it at a party, I will have down!!!!
it would be great if the guy in the peach suit and white hat would do a slowed down instructional video of this line dance i would love to learn to do it to this tune Kush Kush and post it on youtube for everyone that would love to do it as great and smooth as he does think about it Mr Smooth if you are ever in the Cleveland area look me up I'd pay for a personal lesson.
This video is cool, really. Oh, I'm going to practice that step no doubt. All of them are so confident of their steps they're not even watchin' the others feet. Slick.
I'm going to St. Martinville next month and I can't wait to do this dance there. I've been practicing this a long time. I cant wait to hear some good Zydeco music. God Bless!!!
Thank you! I hope to get the people in my performance group to use some of these awesome moves. Thanks to youtube for being here, and a BIG thankyou to wonderful folks like this who are willing to share their culture!
Memories of my family, Louisiana "refugees" in California. No matter what you did for a living, or what neighborhood you lived in...on Friday Nights...U wuz CREOLE! Such a shame, the cultures of Louisiana (creole, cajun..etc) are becoming as forgotten as the broken french from the region. Tryin' my best though to keep it alive!
finally, i found the name of the song! they play and dance to at this bar i go to, but never knew the artists, just that it was the zydeco slide (or how they spell it zidago). now not only can i tell them that right spelling, but that it's called "kush, kush". so love this vid. thanks again!
My friends and I are going to go to our first zydeco dance at a bar next week! We are so excited! You guys look like you are having so much fun! Yay for zydeco! :oD
I am a two left feets for this but it seems so easy and fun watching the video...I will give it a try..I let you know if I trip and end up with a broken hip at the hospital here in Amsterdam lmao...thanks for posting it :)
@TheMsCreole Actually, I learned this dance in CA... My adoptive mother and her RV group learned this dance and they play it every Christmas at their Christmas Party in Sacramento...
Thank you to all who have enjoyed this video clip. It is one of several dances done for the taping of our now discontinued local cable TV show, "Dancing On Line". The song, "Kush, Kush" is part of a collection owned by the DJ for that night, and try as I might, I just cannot track him or the song down. Your best bet would be to do a search for the song, and download it from whatever source is available. B. K. Hart Imani Bros. Multimedia Assoc. Producer, "Dancing On Line" TV show
Where are these people dancing? Looks as though it's a place that you can go to learn these dances and also have fun. What town and name of place they are dancing? I love it.
i live in california but originally from texas,and i tell you i miss home.i'm heading that way in 2 weeks.people in california don't know shit about zydeco.they think it's country & for hicks.man they don't know what the hell their missing.people in la.,tex,miss,ok,tenn,ga.s.c.,n.c. ect.. knows about this.it's not just for us blacks it's for anyone who loves the music.these are real people who know how to party instead of sitting in the house waiting to die.that's what life should be about.
