Boston woman in labor does the “Tootsee Roll” dance
An expecting mom found a groovy way to deal with her labor pains by doing the “Tootsie Roll” dance.
“I’ve always loved dancing”, said Yuki Nishitzawa, who went viral when her husband posted a video of her dance moves in the delivery room of Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
“It definitely helped with the pain”, Nishizawa tells Yahoo Parenting of the moves she busted out Tuesday at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
“My water is breaking!” she laughs as she performs a side shuffle and two-step.
Yuki Nishizawa and her husband, Connell Cloyd, with their newborn son. Trying to induce a little labor with the 69 Boyz (backed up by the Quad City DJs) and their classic song “Tootsie Roll”.
A soon-to-be mother showed the world how she “Tootsie Rolls”.
Cloyd can be heard in the video joking with his wife that the dance was going to make her a star. Nishizawa exclaims in the second video. And her dancing worked again: their son, Coji, was born around 1:30 a.m. on Thursday weighing 6 pounds, 15 ounces, according to the Boston Globe.
