The Boogaloo or Shing-A-Ling was a 1960's freestyle Fad dance which kinda caught on with the public thru American Bandstand and gained momentum in the late 1960s. Originally, It was considered a Latin dance because of it's Mambo patterns, but was used in the Blues and Rock and Roll as well. The Boogaloo replaced the popular Latin Pachanga dance in popularity.
The dance basically means to do simple weird movements with your feet, hips and body (kinda like speaking in tongues, but in dancing .)
