The Cabbage patch dance involves putting the hands together and moving them in a horizontal circular motion. It may also refer to the traditional Snowflake Day dance. (Clone High - Episode 11; Snowflake Day: A very special Clone High holiday special.) Dr. Dre in 1987 with DJ Yella in world class wrecking cru invented what was supposed to be a short-lived fad. They wrote a song called "The Cabbage Patch" just for a dance they made. It soon became very popular, showing up in almost every dance club in America.
