	If you notice, most men will not get up and dance until they
	have had a few drinks. Most men feel self-conscious==insecure
	about their dancing. In most cases it seems that the female
	is more graceful==fluid in her dancing than her male counter-
	part. Besides, insecurities have a tendency to accumalate
	after watching a Micheal Jackson or Dance Fever or Saturday
	Night Fever etc. etc. Men think they have to dance this way
	to please their counterpart.

beat of the song, but unfortunately have no rhythm) Ramey
