Some of us are born dancers, while others might prefer to stick to the sidelines. But if your office holiday party tends to turn into a dance party at some point in the evening, then you might want to come prepared with something more than the awkward moves you "mastered" while watching YouTube.
While dance parties are supposed to be about having fun, not all dance moves are deemed appropriate.

Yeah, it died in the club you stopped going to years ago.
