Have you ever seen me dancing I mean really dancing....?!!

It is a fact here, that white people are thought of as pretty 'special' when they dance. I don't know if it's that there aren't many white people so they don't see them dance or that they just think we can't, but whenever one of us puts our hand to dancing, there is uproar!
Two nights ago I was passing through B ward with some medicine, and spotted half of the ward focusing on the nurses' computer screen. There was some kind of African music pumping out of the speakers, and on the screen some people dressed in traditional outfits dancing to the beat of the traditional drums. On the screen one of the men started doing some kind of bandy legged manoeuver, and shaking his arms, so instinctively, not really paying attention to what I was doing, I thought I'd give it a try as I passed the screen...well, you'd think I was the worlds best comedian as the cheers, hysterical laughter, pointing and general astonishment erupted! I sneaked out of the door to the ward still dancing glad that I had 'entertained' the masses for a few minutes...
