Backstreet Boys

Let's face it, Nick Carter is owning "Dancing with the Stars." Last week, Nick incorporated the most well known Backstreet Boys dance into his routine with partner Sharna Burgess. The dance move is up there with the best boy band dance moves of all time, along with New Kids on the Block's famous footwork during "Step by Step" or 'N Sync's "Bye Bye Bye" triple wave. 

 

While it may be a smart move to not use too many Backstreet moves, we have a few suggestions.

 

Check out the five Backstreet Boys dances we think Nick Carter should use on "Dancing with the Stars" if he decides to do it again. 

 

 

 

It's a simple move that could be thrown into any dance. Just the swinging of the arms and it's not even one of their most known dances. It could be used in the Jive or the cha-cha easily. The cool thing is most normal people wouldn't recognize it but Backstreet fans would!

 

 

 

 

The chair dance. That's all you really need to say. Nick and Sharna could easily put the chair dance in a routine although for the life of me, I couldn't figure out how but if she can include the "Everybody" hand thing into the cha-cha, I'm sure anything is possible. 

 

 

 

 

Any portion of the hat dance could easily be used whether it's taking the hat off or putting it back on. The twirl they do where the boys lift up their pants leg could also be used. This may be their other most well-known dance besides "Everybody" or "As Long As You Love Me." 

 

 

 

 

From the shooting the basketball move to just being down right awesome, the "We Got It Goin' On" dance is made of nothing but greatness. Besides the basketball move, the thrusting might be good, too. But then again, he might pop a button or a belt again like he did during his first dance. Thrusting = Nick loses his pants. On live television, that's not a good thing. 

 

 

 

 

Anything from this could be taken for the Jive or Cha-Cha and incorporated so well that non-Backstreet Boys fans would never know where it came from. Of course, this came from their "Lager Than Life" commercial, but it gives good representation of what Mr. Carter would look like in a suit and doing this dance.
