You Can't Dance If You Want Too

I can dance if I want too, it's a free country ya know! Well, unless you're in New York City, then you better put the kibash on the urge to drop it like it's hot. Bars and restaurants in New York are required to have a particular license that allows dancing. I wonder how they define dancing? Is it just a little side to side swaying? Kind of moving to the beat without really moving your feet? And we've all chair danced at one time or another...come on, don't lie. Or do they mean an all out full body rump shankin', arms flailing and the whole bit? Perhaps they mean sycronized dancing, like The Electric Slide...it's so 'wedding reception', isn't it? In a free and democratic society, 'where wings take dream' (GWB Oct.2000), you'd think you could take it for granted that dancing isn't something that would be forbidden...it's all so 'Puritan'. Actually,it's a damn shame is what it is.

Love the Nightlife? Got to Boogie? Better Not Be in NYC
