Twinkle Toes

They say that women like a man who can dance. They also say that throwing a coin into a fountain will make your wish come true. They also say that you should brush your teeth every night.

Rubbish!

This dancing is, in my opinion, just a fad. I've watched a lot of movies, and the first documented dancing I've ever witnessed has been from the Renaissance era (Heath Ledger, A Knight's Tale). Aristotle didn't do no Salsa. Nobody danced by walking like an Egyptian until the '80s, least of all the pharoahs.

I just don't get this whole idea of dancing. Sure, I dance when somebody sings "Blister in the Sun", because that's the sort of song to which you can just flip out. Jump, kick, spin, skank, go crazy! What's the appeal of small-scale undulations to a song that just goes "bump bump bumpity bump"? Techno music is stupid, but that's another story entirely.

In conclusion, boys and girls, the only truly pure form of dancing is The Robot. I rest my case.
