I Like to "Move It - Move It"

I have visited new villages several times on this trip.  At one village, some college girls came along and taught the women and children a song.  It was a hit.  During my last visit, I went but without the “entertainers.” The ladies begged me to dance.  “Dance teacher, dance.”  After numerous attempts to explain my poor dancing abilities I relented and taught the Hokey Pokey. The women were not satisfied. “No teacher. Dance teacher.”  I thought, O.K....maybe..."The Chicken." 
I got the same response.  My dancing clearly was not what they had hoped for.  Then, one young lady whispered in my ear, “Like this.....I like to move it, move it...I like to move it....move it.”  J
 I guess some things cross all cultures.  Too bad I didn’t know the dance.
