I’m guessing group dances that protect at least a small shred of your dignity, like the Electric Slide or the Cotton Eyed Joe, went out in the nineties, because this incredibly awkward “dance” to the song “Oops Upside Your Head” is what people are apparently doing now. You sit on the floor, in a line, and alternatively smack the floor, clap and pat the back of the person in front of you. Um, a thought: there’s a reason bars in NYC are so dark. Have you ever seen the floor?! Hence, I’ll call the dance, The Icky Poo.
