Cabbage Patch (dance)

The Cabbage Patch is a hip-hop dance move which involves moving ones clenched fists together in front of the body in a horizontal, circular motion. The hips may be gyrated in sync with these arm movements.

The dance became popular in the 1980s, showing up in many dance clubs in North America. The dance's name is derived from the Cabbage Patch Kids dolls or the use of "cabbage" as slang for paper money. There are many online videos demonstrating how to do the dance. The dance was originally celebratory and often associated with being cool.
