Uh... why yes, yes it is. o_O
Perhaps the most worrying part is how into it everybody looks. (!)
Clearly I need to find some video of my school dancing. Then you will
know what actual dancing looks like. ;-)
(Incidentally, there *is* in fact a Rock & Roll move known as The
Chicken Walk. What you do is you... walk... like... a chicken.
Essentially, anyway.)

Which one? I'm in *several* classes. ;-)
I'm not very good with ages, but I'd say that most of the people in my
classes are in their 40s or older. (With several notable exceptions.)

It's not like people in their 40's cannot have good... assets.

Actually... I didn't think he was *that* bad. At least he put commitment
into it. I've seen people dance propper dance steps and not make it look
that convincing. There's a lot to be said for energy and enthusiasm.
If you want to see *bad* dancing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umEShQ2SXK8
This is the first search result for "John Sargent". His name has become
synonymous with abysmal dancing. Dancing *so bad* that people were
actually voting to keep him in the competition _because_ he's so bad
it's amusing.

There's also a lot to be said for throwing yourself into it. And for
being concussed. ;-)

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"?
