To complete the effect have a lost look on your face! DANCE HISTORY: I competed against Dennis "Bucky" Buckner in Salt Lake City in 1992. After the "vanillas" in the first dance, I went into my variations and Bucky just froze in place with a lost look on his face. Since then anytime anyone did this while dancing you would hear someone shout "They're Doin' the Bucky!". Dennis was killed late in 1994 while crossing a street in Salt Lake City. We will miss him.
