Cabbage Patch dance - Wikipedia Cabbage Patch dance The cabbage patch dance is a dance involving putting the hands together in the form of fists and moving them in a horizontal, circular motion. The Gucci Crew II had a song describing the dance, as well as Dr. Dre and DJ Yella ( of the rap group N.W.A. ) in 1987. The dance they made was featured in the song `` The Cabbage Patch. '' It soon became very popular, showing up in many dance clubs in America. The dance 's name is derived from the popular line of dolls `` The Cabbage Patch Kids '' or the use of `` cabbage '' as slang for paper money. There are many on - line videos showing how to do the dance. The dance was originally celebratory and often associated with being super cool and rad. References Jump up ^ Tom L.
