Useless Inventions

So is anyone out there a street dance expert? We did this move where you basically do a grapevine followed by arm gesticulations in combination with bottom wiggling (booty shaking, we’ll call it). So what I’d like to know is this:

Is my booty really supposed to shake that much?

Is the point of the exercise to alarm those in the class, who have the misfortune to be stuck behind me, with the imposingly large wobbling shape that is my bottom? I guess that the horror of it might make you think twice about eating your dinner once you get home. If I saw the spectacle of my booty shaking like that – perhaps in a mirrored room – I think I would be put off my food too. For a week at least. So perhaps that’s the point. You lose weight by focusing on the booty shaking of the biggest bottom you can find. Which in my class, unfortunately, happens to be mine. But if mine is the biggest shaking booty and the walls aren’t mirrored, then how am I supposed to be put off my food and therefore lose weight? Hmmm?

You see – this exercise lark is flawed – flawed, I tell you. Who invented it?
