In reply to the discussion: (New York City) Health Board Approves Ban on Large Sugary Drinks [View all]AndyTiedye
(23,500 posts)33. Comes from Trying to Dance in Stadium Seating
Dancing is awesome... except that I rarely run into people who know how. One thing I keep telling young people (well, people my own age... around 30 and younger) is that you have to move your feet. All they do is bob their heads and sway their hips - they think that's dancing. That's not dancing.
Been there, done that. It's what happens when you have to do most of your dancing in a stadium, arena, or "concert" venue with seats bolted to the floor. Overcrowded nightclubs are not much better.
Outdoors is the best.

It is NOT okay to poison the atmosphere and there is quite a lot of effort underway to lessen that.

NYC and the state of California were ahead of the curve on transfats. I knew none of this before.
