It's something that you can either pick up easily or that you have to work at. It's not easy. The post is more about the fact that people refuse to get on the dance floor until this song plays, then they get excited even though they don't really know the dance. I don't understand why songs with better beats don't get people excited and ready to dance. It's a simplistic song with a structured dance, which, in way is harder to dance to than a song with layered beats that you can freestyle to.

Not all people can feel/catch the rhythm as easily as others, so if you actually have to stop & listen to get the rhythm then it makes it hard to follow instructions & get the rhythm. I happen to love this song for some reason but I never mastered the electric slide (for some reason it was too hard) even though they taught it in elementary school from 1st-5th grade in gym class (I guess they were trying to make gym fun). Some things that is realitively easy for others can be quite difficult for the rest. Not to mention, to the right, to the right... which way is right? That can get in the way too. Sometimes watching someone "walk it out" in a dark bar can be rather difficult, especially when you see something taking place in front of you but when you try to do it it just doesn't work out quite like you think it should. You apparently aren't rhythmatically challenged at all, I can tell if you can learn from watching a little bitty box on your computers. MTV has these cool things on demand where they show you how to do some dances. I watched & tried for over 2 hours one day. I still can't figure it out.

One of the most hilarious nights I've ever had out on the town was in Greenville at this cheesy club called "Chiefs", where the majority of the crowd inside seemed to be the bleached blonde, tanning-bed-baked divorcee type, squeezed into jeans and halter tops. But MAN, when the Cupid Shuffle came on! All these chicks hotfooted it to the dance floor to do their little white-girl moves. And of course, all the half-drunk guys who had been standing by the bar hoping that one of the gals would come stand by them to order a drink ("Heeeeeyyyy, pretty lady. Can I get that for you?"), were out there trying gamely to imitate. It was depressing on a level that I didn't know existed. rhythmically-challenged…heh heh.
