[edit] Tutting
I myself wikified the page a bit, but doubt this is widely known as tutting, since I can't find any info anywhere. Karol 08:21, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
*Delete - As the The Bangles said in Walk Like an Egyptian "they do the sand dance don't you know". But seriously, I don't see any use of the word "tutting" in Google, that's related to dance. --rob 11:39, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
- See "tutting" in this guide to dance. It's real terminology for this form of movement, but the people who employ it apparently haven't read our article on walking like an Egyptian, otherwise they'd know that this particular style of dancing dates from at least the 1930s, and is not a mere 15 years old as this article implies. We should assist such people in learning the somewhat longer history of this dance form with a Merge (although there is almost nothing here that isn't already in the better article).

- Yes, thanks for this as I wouldn't have thought about walking like an Egyptian :) One thing makes the tutting page different - the connection to King Tut! Is this relevant at all? If not, then maybe a simple redirection will work? Karol 20:46, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
- No it isn't, because that doesn't actually make "tutting" different at all. Follow King Tut to see what it redirects to, and then read walking like an Egyptian again. Uncle G 21:22:12, 2005-09-03 (UTC)
- You're right. Karol 07:21, September 4, 2005 (UTC)

- Merge and re-direct to walking like an Egyptian per Uncle G. --rob 07:39, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
Tutting is a dance-style--a subset of popping, which is a west coast "funk style"--that began to be referred to as such in the 1980s. Here is a google reference: http://www.google.com/search?hs=fZd&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=tutting+wiggles&btnG=Search Your research is clearly very lacking in this area, I recommend you stop messing with it.
