The MC Hammer 'typewriter' dance is the late 80's dance associated with MC Hammer and famously featured in his "U Can't Touch This" video. The dance and his baggy pants became trademarks of Hammer, and the generation that popularized them. The dance includes dynamic jumping side-to-side, reversing toes-in and toes-out, shuffling quickly one way, then the other.
