The Lambeth Walk was a dance done in England many years ago; just wondering how it was done.

It sometimes gets dragged out at parties as something for the non-dancers, along with things like the Conga and the Hokey Cokey. It no doubt featured in some Millenium celebrations and the Queen's Jubilee street parties last year

You can find some description at:

I also understand that there is a description in the Book:
