Huge props to gen alpha for busting it down insane
I became a teacher last year and the amount of incredible, complex, highly coordinated dancing they pretty much all do is incredible. I saw a 5 year old do a whacky fortnite squat dance into a back handspring. What?!
At least I could teach them the Macarena so I had something to offer because goddamn.
People criticize tiktok dances, but at least it's motivating kids and young adults to be active. I used to be annoyed by those trends and eventually became indifferent.
Do You Love Me is so exactly what old rimey rock sounds like that it loops back to timeless. It's like Jojnny B Good, it immediately evokes 50s rock but you can use it anywhere regardless.
If you're being obnoxious and dancing somewhere like in an airport in a way that disturbs or obstructs other people then you're an asshole for disturbing and obstructing people, not for dancing.
If you're just doing some goofy little micro-dance in public or you've got some complex routine and you're doing it with a group of people outside somewhere that is appropriate then more power to you.
The people who are intentionally jerks about this are shitty people. Let people use public spaces how they want, within reason. You don't have to enjoy it. You don't have to appreciate it. You don't have to be a part of it. But you can't honestly tell me to my face that there is already too much joy in the world so on ya bike - go make yourself or someone else happy but leave people be so they can enjoy themselves.
Oh I just meant like a high school kid who shows off in front of his peers at school or something. Not taking up public spaces and being jerks about it.
Listen, everybody knows when minorities do anything, it's because they're poor and uncultured. It's a billion times more impressive and praise worthy when white kids do it
It was the answer to the final Jeopardy question on Jeopardy today. The category was 1990s No. 1 Songs, and I guessed Macarena before even reading the clue. The clue itself was the plot of the song “the title character of this song doesn’t care for her boyfriend Vitorino and gets with his 2 friends” LOL. I was shocked that only one of the three contestants responded correctly
You should encourage this and allow them the opportunity to do dance moves as a reward for good behaviour in particular but also good performance - if they all score well on the test or if they have less than 3 classroom warnings for being too rowdy (or whatever) then they get a reward of having 20 mins of dance time at the end of the day.
I mean, if they already love doing it then you are just encouraging the good behaviour by structuring that into a reward system for other good outcomes.
