Addams Family Theme Line Dance How To
The Addams Family is a kooky family that everyone can relate to. For Halloween the Addams Family Theme line dance is a fun option. William Hooker put together this fun line dance variation for the Monday night ladies dance aerobics class. I am sure you will enjoy it as much as they do.
Princess of Darkness:
So how can the Addams Family be included in my princess dances. Someone must be princess of darkness, and Morticia Addams fits the bill. She is a witch of noble decent. She is the matriarch of the Goth movement and encourages all young ladies to embrace the color black.
More about Morticia Addams:
Her motto is, ‘Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nun’: ‘We gladly feast on those who would subdue us.’
Fitting for someone who’s name was derived from the word Mortician. Morticia also was the inspiration for the Rocky and Bullwinkle villain Natasha Fatal.
Hobbies:
Morticia has many hobbies. She likes cutting roses from their stems, cooking up spells, playing music, and dancing. She and Gomez can be caught dancing a mamuska (polish for mama), a mazurka waltz, or a tango. This line dance would have been a family favorite.
Addams Family Theme Line Dance How To:
This is a simple line dance turning to two walls. You should not break a sweat with this little line dance to the “Addams Family Theme” by the Hit Crew. As Lurch would say, “Follow Me.”

- Form a line facing your first wall. After the pickup riff (ba, da da dum 1& a 2) Lift your right hand and snap two times (3,4).
