This is a serious thread about a brand-new dance craze that has NOTHING to do with Wammo! (tm) Hula Hoops, or other '60's kitsch. When a brand-new, non-derivative art crops up, it is fashionable for the cogniscenti to pooh-pooh it. Please! If MIH wants to gyrate with cheap plastic toys, I for one will never dash her dreams.

MIH and gyrate in the same sentence will get my vote every time. Add in plastic toys and you could charge admission.
