The Skeeter Swat
Prompt : Creation Saturday! Invent a new dance move. Tell us in detail how to do it...
         In light of my recent ankle injury caused by a slip and fall, I am a little leery about busting a move, or dropping anything while it's hot. Nowadays, I am teetering and tottering on a cumbersome boot cast. I could describe my careful moves as shuffling, and this reminds me of a catchy tune with the lyrics" everyday I'm shufflin' ". Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/LMFAO /party rock anthem.
         Okay, I am currently camping, nothing too strenuous or overtly outdoorsy, more like glamping . No slumbering on the hard ground in a flimsy nylon shell; I own a trailer. No matter the upgrades , insects, the voracious, blood-thirsty sort, still attack en masse. I curse. I flail. I stomp and swing. Inevitably, I itch. Sigh, @*!!@**!
         Remember the cheesy crowd- favourite dances at weddings? These are the moves even the uncoordinated can handle, no rhythm required. I'm referring to the macarena, and the chicken dance. Hey! Da-da-da-da-da-da-da...repeat. I think I could boogie down to this without throwing down,er, I mean falling down.
         I imagine the skitter/skeeter swat to be somewhat akin to the chicken dance, it can be accomplished with little locomotion . Visualize yourself swatting at mosquitos , and you'll already have the first motion down pat. Flutter your hands about your head in a shooing shimmy, about four times. Next, you must flail both arms to the side of your twitching torso, again, four times. The third step, I mean action, is to stomp your feet to the count of four. The final movement involves smacking/clapping your hands forcefully together. With enough speed and skill, plus luck, you should actually snatch/trap skitters, smooshing them. The great thing about this dance is it never ends, well, as long as you're outside hoping to enjoy a campfire. The ravenous insects are insatiable, and numbered in the gazillions. . Oh, here is a funny comic I found re dancing; an etch-a-sketch tries the hokey pokey.... http:// www.gocomics.com/theargylesweater/2016/06/15
