Hmm... Is that "bad" dancing because "he has next to no experience or
talent, and just doesn't know how to move", or is it "bad" dancing because
"his style of dancing (which he has clearly practiced) is too simplistic
and banal to be considered 'good' by any standard"?
I didn't see that performance as bad at all. Both had clearly practiced
that dance, and they seemed to perform the dance without visible errors
(at least to a completely unexperienced layman's eye). The *style* of the
dance was rather unique and simplistic, but is that "bad"?
