Kelly Does the Chicken Dance

Kelly demonstrates the chicken dance

Callie Bates: "Mom's favorite dance is definitely the chicken dance."
Erin Paine: "Mom, I feel like that's too much hip."


Here's a little tidbit that you probably didn't know about Kelly Bates. She loves the chicken dance! Her kids have memories of her dancing like a chicken throughout their childhood. In this web exclusive video, the Bates mama demonstrates her skills.

    1. 😂😂 Clearly Kelly has never seen a Latino or Caribbean person dance if she thinks that’s too much hip

  4. I grew up going to wedding dances in our Midwest Scandinavian area. Along with the polka and two-step, the chicken dance was a staple! It was always a workout! Funny thing, those old time dances are making a comeback!

  5. The Chicken Dance and the Hokey Pokey are very common childrens' dances held at wedding receptions. I'm sure Kelly has done many a chicken dance at the wedding receptions she may have attended before her conversion to this type of lifestyle that throws the babies out with the bathwater regarding almost everything that can be pleasurable in life.

  6. Glad to see the Bates family “loosening up”. People can have a good moral compass and still have a little fun, without being so worried about rules all the time. It’s what’s in your heart that counts

  9. The Bates family truly enjoys each other - their relationships show thru in the clips of their family.

  10. That's a different chicken dance from what I grew up with. We would make duck beak movements with our fingers for 4 beats, flap our arms for 4 beats, twist & shimmy lower for 4 beats, and clap our hands for 4 beats. And then polka in between, until we did the 16 beats again. I don't know what Kelly was doing!

    1. Yeah, I don't think she is doing what most of us know as the Chicken Dance.
