"Absurd" Is The Word.

I hope all my readers had a great holiday, I know I did. One of the thing's I loved most about the holiday was dancing in my yeshiva with all my friend's, rabbis and there kid's. It always start's off with a big huge circle then people go into the circle and everyone is having a blast. Only men acting crazy, imagine someone that didnt know how we roll happened to walk in on us doing the "hora" don't you think he would think we were crazy? I think he would. but... could he do it better?
I've been out to diffrent parties in many diffrent cities and counries in the world. In all the year's of seeing people dance in club's or whatever i never thought to myself that this wasn't wierd.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A GOOD MALE DANCER!!!! there are alot of good attempt's but if you consider yourself a respectable man you won't take dancing the slightest bit serious. I hate to admit it, but when i have too.... I'll break out my 2 step only when i have a drink otherwise i'd feel like the biggest asswipe.
Why do people dance?
Why do we have to move our bodies in wierd awkward position's when we are happy?
A great friend of mine got engaged last night. I attended his party and went to greet him on the dance floor. We gave eachother a big hug, I congradulated him and we started dancing.... How wierd does that sound? "I went to dance with my male friend".
It would be very hard for someone from another culture or background to understand how we greet eachother. It could even make one of us start thinking, why? I'm not doing research for you but i think the answer is obvious. TRADITION. Most of the thing's we do are adapted from our ancestor's. Most people asimilate and adapt to their enviroment which is dumb American culture, but we don't. We still dance in big circle's and we will always do so were the Jew's and these are some of the things that make us diffrent.
So back to the awkwardness of modern dancing, don't do it. I dont care if you think you could breakdance or rave or crip walk don't ever think that you are really good at it. If you're making fun of the people that do,that's fine I do it all the time and I do it well.
You think dancing could be one of your hobbies?
Get your crew together and do it all together like this,

The only way i wont make fun of you dancing is if you could bring it like that.
