Brooklyn Cyclones’ ‘Elaine Dance Contest’ on Seinfeld Night: A Hilarious Blast From the Past originally appeared on Parade.
If you’re a fan of the comedy Seinfeld, you’re probably familiar with the “Elaine Dance.” This party favorite, as George Costanza so perfectly described, is “a full-body dry heave set to music” that took the ‘90s by storm.
Those bold moves came to life again at the Brooklyn Cyclones’ annual “Seinfeld Night” at Maimonides Park in Coney Island on August 2. A standout feature of the evening was the “Elaine Dance Contest,” where participants channeled the iconic moves of Elaine Benes from the classic episode “The Little Kicks.”
As you can see in this video shared by MLB, it’s a night filled with fun:

And @blockxs added, “That dance is unforgettable!”
Another shared, “OMG I am hollering, this is one of my favorite episodes!”
The Brooklyn Cyclones have hosted Seinfeld Night since 2014, turning it into a cherished tradition that celebrates the sitcom’s lasting charm. It’s a fan-favorite highlight, with contestants dressing up and busting out those distinctive moves year after year.
Plus, this year, attendees received “The Kramer” Bobblehead, adding even more fun to the evening.
