There are many types of dances out there, and the only one I've ever truly learned was the Chicken Dance, which was ingrained into me ever since extraterrestrial sentient green egg-yolks abducted me to feed to a ginormous three-eyed chicken god known as Poultra.
But recently, some friends of mine have learned several types of dancing. These vertical expressions of horizontal desires legalized by music are quite fascinating.
Perhaps it is part of Homo sapien behavior. I suppose it is a step up from the primeval "cock-fights" and territorial disputes among belligerent male packs that infest the less-civilized areas of our world. Or maybe this dancing is a way to display one's adeptness at damaging one's body in order to attract members of the opposite sex (Note: Is it possible that the nomenclature for "breakdancing" comes from the damaged bodies that result from this physically demanding activity?)
I will continue to observe this unique phenomena and post further insights.
