Dangers! on the Dancefloor

Dealing with a Crowded Dancefloor
It's a love-hate relationship whenever the dancefloor gets jam-packed with dancers. Here we have, right before our eyes, tons of dancers, but there's simply not . enough . space . to . dance .

Out of frustrations, or rather, driven to desperation, human behaviours will go rampant. I don't know about you, but I have a very strong urge to stamp my heels on everyone's cutsey little pinkie toes, watch them limp away from the dancefloor and THE DANCEFLOOR IS MINE!!! MINEEEEE!!! MINE ONLY!!! MUAHAHA!!!

... ahem... *widdle fingers* As I was saying, everyone wants a piece of the dancefloor. Like a movie, there's different colorful characters that enhance the flavour of the popcorn. If everyone took part in the following roles, the night of salsa would be a blockbuster.

Superheroes

- are very brave. They grab an unwilling victim, squeeze into the crowd and attempt to salsa within a 2cm by 2cm of the dancefloor surface.

- have super power. Such as, butt-pushing the dancers all around to create a space to dance or doing flamboyant styling in hope to wack anyone and everyone nearby.

- are very strong. They would throw partner out in an open hold and hopefully he/she slams the crowd to one side like a tsunami tidal wave.

- never say die. Depsite getting hurt in the crowded dancefloor upteen times, they will return into the battlefield with a vengence.


Victims

- are usually the first to get killed. Get major injury from a simple dance due to the lack of understanding of the hidden danger on the dancefloor.

- are best of friends with Mr. Unlucky. No matter where they are or what they are doing, dancing or standing, walking or hiding, chatting or in deep thoughts... they get wacked left, right, up, down from unidentified flying objects.


Villians

- do not like watching others enjoying themselves. So they spill water all over the dancefloor to make dancing almost impossible.

- can't dance salsa. Somewhat like a tree swaying in a storm; jiggering the butt, wave hands frantically like William Hung with their feet rooted to the ground and still managed to take up alot of dancing space because dancers avoid getting into collision with them.


Comedians

- are witty. They love shouting to the crowd, "GO HOME!" or wolf-whistle at nearby dancers.

- love playing practical jokes, such as setting off the fire alarm.

- think out of the box. They will draw a yellow line on the floor and guide the dancers not to dance beyond the yellow line.


Masterminds

- are the masters of the masters. They conduct mini salsa class in a corner.

- love to scheme. They would block off 20% of the dancefloor with a bottle of beer in hand and several big-buttocks friends.

- create a scene. They would form a fortress with a bunch of groupie and watch their salsa idols dance infront of them.


Hot Sexy Models

- loves to socialise. They are always striking up conversations with various groups of people and making new friends.

- are information center. Ask them the top 10 dancers who have sweaty palms and they can easily come up with the list in split seconds.

- make good eye candies. When can't deal with the crowded dancefloor, it's better off looking good standing beside them.


Explorers

- will investigate the club's ventilation system and explore every corners that will provide the nose a wisp of cold air.

- is game for trying new things. Perhaps pick up a new sports other than salsa, such as playing pool, throwing darts and breaking world records like gulping down 5 litres of beer in 20 secs.


Stage Props

- are always lurking in the background. They like to stand behide a pillar and watch other dancers get killed on the dancefloor.

- hardly move. They just sit by the table and watch the dancefloor.

- usually not found in the scene. They can't figure out a way to walk into the club and through the dancefloor without being smashed into pieces.

- are, sadly, not noticable. No one knew they exist. "I was dancing last night..." "You were there last night?!?!?"

If you have a role in this movie, who would you be?
