The Peanut Butter Jelly dance is a fairly simple dance that requires little time to learn.
In 2002, an animated video showing a pixelated banana dancing to the "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" song by the Buckwheat Boyz was posted to the internet in the Offtopic.com forums. This video quickly spread around the internet and became one of the more prolific internet memes of the decade. The catchy tune and dancing banana have attracted thousands of copycats, and learning the dance yourself is quite easy.
Instructions
1. Play the "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" song on your computer or speaker system and stand with your feet flat on the ground about two feet apart.
2. Bounce from side to side in time with the music without lifting your feet off the ground. Always bend both knees when bouncing, but shift your weight from one foot to the next with each bounce. Your butt should drop down on the side of the foot you are putting the most weight on, which will cause your torso to follow.
3. Turn your head and as much of your torso as possible away from the direction of the foot you are putting your weight on with each bounce. Bounce from foot to foot to the music and turn your head in the direction of the foot you are not putting your weight on.
4. Put your hands up in a fist so they are about a foot from your head on either side and are on level with your mouth. Point your pointer finger and thumb away from your hands. Keeping your pinky folded, lift the pinky knuckle away from the other folded knuckles. Keep this hand position.
5. Combine the steps so you are bouncing from side to side without lifting your feet, turning away from the foot you are putting the most weight on and raising your hands in the correct gesture.
