www.abc.net.au
A study by universities in SA and WA has sought to shed light on the origin of the popular Australian dance routine to American singer Tina Turner's 1973 song Nutbush City Limits, and has determined it was invented by the NSW education department.
  • In short: Researchers have found the dance routine to Nutbush City Limits was invented by the New South Wales education department.
  • The Nutbush was distributed to teacher training institutions as a teaching aid in 1975, researchers said.
  • There have been attempts to create a world record for the number of people dancing at one time, with the record standing at 6,594.
