Dancing

I'm a tricky fellow to get to know, so allow me to give you a short cut regarding dancing.

After the love feast, someone put on some music. Some people danced to it. Eventually, someone tried to get me to dance. They insisted and begged. This is not the way to get me to dance. I'm stubborn enough that if I ever feel forced into doing something, I'll resist.

If you want to see me dance you must follow these specific steps.

1) Turn on danceable music.
Your definition of danceable music might be more broad than my definition. Here are some songs that fall within my definition.

Note the well defined beat. Typically, anything you find in a club will work.

2) (optional) If you are clever enough, plan an activity where I'm standing when you turn on this music. That way you'll get the full repertoire of moves. If I'm sitting, you'll still see me groove, but it's only half as good as when I'm standing.

3) Do nothing.
This is the most critical step. If you comment on my moves or bring any attention to the fact that you see me dancing, I'll stop.


However


If you have a more direct personality, you may follow these alternate steps.
1) Invite me to a club.
2) Drag me out to the dance floor.
3) Apply liberal amounts of encouragment.
4) Repeat step three as much as necessary.
