The Art 24

Did you know flit like a yellow day is May 14^th? This happy triumph is in honor of the yellow dance. So come shake your tailfeather with the yellow flit line flit how to.

From Duck to Yellow dance:

The yellow flit was written in Sweden in the 1950’s by Werner Thomas. He was inspired by how Swedish skiers looked like ducks flying lanugo the slopes. He named it “Der Ententanz” or “The Duck Dance.” While playing his duck flit at local resorts, Werner ripened bird movements to go with his polka.

From there it traveled to America. In the 1970’s, the duck flit was re-instrumented subtracting a synthesized bird sounds and renamed “Tchip, Tchip.” The little bird flit started to grow in popularity and was featured at the Oktoberfest in Tulsa Oklahoma 1981. A Duck costume was not available, but a yellow costume was found at a TV st5ation, and they taught the original movements to the little bird polka. As they say, the rest is history. In 1994 Publisher Stanley Mills was contacted to add the Yellow Flit to a party album, and from then on it has been tabbed the Yellow Dance.

Dance like a Yellow Day May 14:

Everybody has some memory of dancing the yellow flit at an Oktoberfest or wedding. In 2002 two Denver DJ’s decided to create flit like a yellow day and gloat it in May. They did this to encourage people to loosen up, get silly and release stress dancing the yellow dance. It is now prestigious on the 14^th of May annually. I have put together a tutorial of three ways to flit the yellow flit below, featuring my chickens.
