But then your humor pieces are hysterical! <br /><br />I must confess to also being too old to do any of these dances. I am still stuck in the days of the Tootsie Roll, Hammer Slide, and Running Man. Embarrassing. At weddings now, I tend to stick to the "step and tap" like we do at church.Kristen Howertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11055131545156196477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023640958277221986.post-19550638562749941112009-11-16T16:34:12.580-05:002009-11-16T16:34:12.580-05:00Well, I can't laugh because "The Prep,&qu...Well, I can't laugh because "The Prep," "The Worm." and "The Sperm" were the last dances I can ever remember learning.

I think I am now a good 2 or 3 yrs too old to be doing those new dances but now, when I watch the youngins, I think they look stupid although the dances back in the day made all the sense in the world to me.
