Break It Down!
Joelle said in the late morning on January 9, 2008
Yet another glimpse into a work day…
Joelle: So, have you ever caught yourself doing like some weird dance and then thought, “what the hell?” and looked around like someone was watching you?Kathy: hahahaha. yes. all the time.
Joelle: I was just totally doing a funky dance at my desk
Kathy: I did one earlier when i got out of the shower lol
Joelle: was it like a funky chicken or like a roger rabbit? cabbage patch? hustle? or just your own interpretive dance?
Kathy: it was kind of a version of a roger rabbit but with less oomph
Joelle: lol! mine was kind of a combo of the Snake and that 70’s dance where they look like they’re hitchiking. Kind of like a hand-jive, I guess.
Kathy: I was just doing the chair bounce as we speak
Joelle: sometimes it’s just the neck
Joelle: *neck*
Kathy: HAHAHAHHA *neck*
Kathy: speaking of… i need some actual music to do this to
Joelle: wait, you had no music?!
Kathy: no hahahaha
Joelle: truly the beat of your own drum, sister. *neck*
So, it’s possible you’re thinking we’re a little weird or just found out you’re not alone. Surely we’re not the only ones who’ve done this. 
So… what’s your “move”?
Just a reminder if anyone is interested, we’ll be talking to the girls of ChickChat Radio, Heidi and Lara, tonight on XM Channel 155 (Take Five) at 8:05pm EST / 5:05pm PST about our book The IT Girls Guide to Blogging with Moxie.

Haha, I couldn’t put names on what I do but I’m always dancing in my chair. Love *neck*...do that all the time hehe And yes, without music playing (only the stuff in my head)

I totally do the hand jive as an involuntary response when I hear the theme music to Boston Legal. It doesn’t even have to be the real thing, someone can just start going “Bow bow, bowba ba bow ba boww bow...” and I break out.

@Derek: I totally love that theme! It’s very retro… it reminds me of Simon & Simon or something. Perfect hand jive theme. Kudos!

I’m big on the running man. I once spent 20 minutes doing it all because it made a baby laugh their ass off.

It’s a constant for me… doesn’t matter if I’m working, driving, or home alone.
My latest thing is to break out into the “waving one arm in the air” dance like on Elizabethtown while I’m at home listening to the stereo or playing Rock Band. Thank goodness nobody caught me doing that one yet.
Sometimes I scat nonsense. Like, I’ll be sitting there, and a little bit of a tune pops into my head, and I’ll just kinda sorta scat to it for a minute.

@Deltus: I do that, too!!
Oh Joelle...I love this post...seriously...crushing on it.
I don’t have a move per se...but I do interpretative dance quite a bit. I dance in my office at work while I am writing up cases...I dance all over the apartment.
And when I was a kid and those “nanny cams” were all the rage..and I was baby sitting, I would CONSTANTLY be looking for them. Not because I was secretly beating the kids crazy, but because as soon as the kids were asleep...I’d turn the living room into a crazy disco. I would be bopping all over the place..with a cartwheel in for good measure. So, I wanted to make sure there was no nanny cam in the teddy bear, so that my dancing embarrassment wouldn’t be caught on video tape.
This always happens to me! Happy to know I’m not alone in it!
