17. I can go lower than that:

My name is Solomon Levi, the desert is my home,
my mother's breast was thorny, and father I had none.
The sands whispered, Be separate, the stones taught me, Be hard.
I dance, for the joy of surviving, on the edge of the road.

Everybody swing your honey, you swing her high and low
Allemande left with your old left hand, around the ring you go
Grand old right & left, walk on your heel and toe
Meet your honey and give her a swing, promenade the hall
Singing oh Solomon Levi, tra-la-la-la-la-la
Oh Solomon Levi, tra-la-la-la-la-la

My wife's name is Rachel, she's nothing but a sham,
And every time she gets a chance, she slugs me if she can

The first couple separate, go round the outside track
Keep a-goin' around the set and pass her comin' back
Pass right by your partner, salute your corners all
Turn around and swing your own, and promenade the hall
Singing oh Solomon Levi, tra-la-la-la-la-la
Oh Solomon Levi, tra-la-la-la-la-la

with apologies to the old yiddish folk tune, the square dance, and Stanley Kunitz's poem

30. Three to be avoided...
1. The Electric Slide
2. The Hokey Pokey
3. The Boot-Scootin' Boogie

Well, all line dances in general should be avoided. And mebbe the Hokey Pokey's not so bad. The Chicken Dance is, but The Funky Chicken is A-okay as is the Penguin. Running Man, Hammer Don't Hurt 'em dances are to be avoided. The Bump always cool.
