    I’m like “let’s look up some jumpstyle videos on YouTube for the onlookers in this conversation” but I think it’s all been deleted out of sheer cringe.

      Do you remember what it was called even? We just called it The Dutch Jump Dance but my guess it is not the native dance of your people

        It’s called jumpstyle. I found this video which is pretty good (at 1:20) https://youtu.be/aja2Wlp9OD0

        The other dances are also very well executed. I think jumpstyle worked so well as a fad dance is because it’s easy to learn, variation is pretty basic, you can somewhat blend in if you can keep a rhythm. Whereas tectonik is fucking awesome but you look like an idiot unless you’re crazy good and wayyy confident.
