Max Perry told us that, socially it has been a term used by African Americans describing a white person's lack of rhythm when they dance. The actual dance step is a jump or "Jazz Jump" (2 footed jump). In the Cha-cha Slide, the jumps can be forward and back, or from left to right while nodding your head, or turning your head from side to side

"FREEZE": STRIKE A POSE
1Strike a pose and freeze
