I just remembered another lindy move that I learned:  the rollaway.  It's really eas, and I should use it more.
I wish that I could learn these dance moves more easily.  One problem is the lack of a dance partner.  My friends tend to be very non-athletic, and they get tired very easily.
Actually, I've found that a lot of people can't do even simply moves.  Obviously, I'm not talking about experienced dancers here.  I've attended a lot of dance events recently where the people just kinda jiggle themselves around, which is frustrating.  Showing them how to do a simple turn is like pulling teeth; they just can't manage to complete a turn.
The thing is, it's not about being overweight.  I know a lot of overweight people who can still move.  Rather, the problem is that a lot of people are just used to moving very sluggishly.  They're not used to stepping in a lively fashion, and so when it comes to dancing, they just kinda plod along.  As a result, it's easier for them to just kinda stand in a circle with a group of friends and shake their booties or sway to the music.
There's nothing wrong with that, and by that, I mean that there's no moral culpability in that.  Still, it's like preferring hamburger over a fine steak.
