And conversely, sometimes I'm not sure if a decision was the right one, but when I stop to consider things I'm grateful for that came from it, a HUGE list comes pouring out

Yeah, fair, I was thinking of "instructional" in the line dance caller kind of way but you're right that he doesn't tell you HOW to do the moves he's calling out where e.g. "Teach me how to dougie" is more explicit about HOW to dougie 🤔

(This thought brought to you by me thinking "Shake It To the Max" must count because it had a ubiquitous dance, but on re-listen, I'm not sure I'd count it)

I wonder if Tiktok has changed this! Whip/Nae Nae is the last one I can think of that's explicitly instructional.

But I can think of lots of songs that have a ubiquitous dance associated with them ("Not Like Us" comes to mind of course, and most recently "Fate of Ophelia")

These two posts back to back before I even opened the thread was such a vibe.
