No breakdancing? No Brazilian dance fighting (capoeira?) Most importantly: no funky chicken?? blasphemy

Also no salsa or merengue or that Brazilian dance where a lady slams her butt repeatedly into your face?

I was whistling the lambada to myself taking the quiz but couldn't remember it's name...

For "jig" I was thinking of Riverdance.. but that's not three letters.

Jig was the furthest from my mind. I had no idea jig was even Irish.

How about just "Lindy" and just "Slide" (as electric is already in the clue)?

Same here. Didn't know what else it could be when "Lindy" wasn't accepted.

Wait, how is the Macarena a "hand dance"? I thought it was just one of those dumb line dances you did at weddings, like the Electric Slide and that dumb cha-cha dance and (if you're as old as me) the Hustle. What have I been missing all these years?

Oh right, now I remember (having looked it up on YouTube): most of the moves were with your hands. I must have blocked it out; I used to drink a lot at weddings.

The Electric Slide is also known as "the bus stop", and since when is YMCA a dance and not a song?

8 classical Indian dances, with one of the earliest treaties on dance and dramaturgy, the Natya Sastra, and not one mention here. Dance knowledge this is not!!
