Dance expressions

Hi!
Have you already checked out our new episode this week? It was so fun to make for you. This episode is about expressions we have for dancing. It is called “Get Down” which is just one expression for dancing.
When we were working on this episode different dance songs would get in our heads, we would start singing songs with the dance expressions! It was fun!
There are so many songs using expressions for dance it is hard to choose only one video to post! The video today uses the expression “Get Up”. It is an older video from the 1990s that I listened to when I was a kid. The video is pretty funny and out of date (not modern). They use the expression “Get Up” many times.
Here is a short excerpt of the chorus (they actually use LOTS of “get” expressions here):
(starts at 0:35)
Get up, get up
Get busy, do it
Get up and move that body
Get up, people
Now get down to it
Before the night is over

Actually it’s not very common, I think, to find many dance expressions in English.

Hi Libardo!
There are so many expression for dancing in English but many of them are just spoken and slang. Many that is why there are hard to find.
