It's also similar to a lot of urban Black dancing, especially that stuff
that looks even more like calisthenics than line dancing does. (Also fun to
watch. Well, I could dance like that if I *wanted* to -- I just don't
*feel* like it right now. Heh heh.)

Yeah, apparently not *enough* guys want to cuddle up and play grab-ass on
the dance floor! Sheesh. (Or more likely, they *want* to dance -- they just
don't *feel* like it right now...)
