means A popular four-wall line dance done in unison to music, built on a sequence of grapevine steps, taps, and a quarter-turn that resets everyone for the next round.

from The dance is named for 'Electric Boogie,' the 1976 song by Bunny Wailer that became a hit in Marcia Griffiths' reggae version; the choreography is widely credited to dancer Ric Silver, who created the routine in the late 1970s. 'Slide' nods to the gliding footwork, while 'electric' rode the era's love of all things electric and electronic in disco-era naming. The two halves fused into a single name as the dance spread through clubs, weddings, and family gatherings.
