Learn The "Crank That" Dance

Impress your friends with your ¨Crank Dat¨ moves at the club.


Soulja Boy's "Crank That" song consists of several dance moves including the "Lean With It" and the "Superman." Fortunately with the steps described below and by watching a few video clips for inspiration you can learn all the steps to "Crank That." Once you master these basic steps, you can put them all together in order to dance to the song and impress your friends on the dance floor.


Instructions


1. Stand in the middle of the dance floor as you play the song. Begin your first move by jumping up and crossing your feet over one another so your left foot is behind your right foot. Kick your left foot behind your body and tap it with your right hand.


2. Do the Lean With It move by shaking your shoulders with your arms extended. Lean forward as you are shaking your shoulders. Pull your body up and back as you snap your fingers and stomp your left foot on the ground.


3. Move your right foot sideways in front of your left foot. Move your right foot back to the previous location and face it directly forward. Bend it up as you slap your knee. Place it back on the ground.


4. Do the Superman move by placing your palms together, facing towards the left, raising your right foot, turning your hands so that the backs are touching each other, and moving your arms as though you are flying.


5. Jump three small steps to the left while facing your head towards the right while extending your arms and moving your hands like you are revving up a motorcycle. Jump three steps to the right while facing your head towards the left and making the same arm and hand movements. Repeat for both the right and left sides. Repeat the entire dance so that every step that you did with the left foot is replaced with the right foot instead.


6. Watch a performance on a video website. A visual aid will help ensure that you are doing the moves correctly and at the right pace. Rewind the video so that you focus on one portion of the song and master it before moving on to the next step.


7. Practice at home while watching the video and dancing along. Practice while only hearing the song without the visual aid. Practice the dance at parties and the club.
