Dancing On The Rails

Doing something extremely stupid or reckless usually for the amusement of others or for the thrill of doing something daring. Often occurs as a result of peer pressure.

The expression originates from the urban myth(?) of someone dancing on the railroad tracks and paying for the foolish mistake with their life.
Dana: Look at Jimmy. He’s dancing on the rails again

Bill: What an idiot! He’ll get hurt if he doesn’t stop it!

doodoo dance

when you try to pull your pants up after shitting but the bottom of your shorts are stuck under the heels of your shoes, causing you to shake one leg at a time while still holding on to your pants to get your shorts free from the bottom of your shoes.
I almost fell in the toilet trying to do the doodoo dance this morning, luckily I got my last foot free before I fell.

Western Dance

The simple yet elegant twitching-type dance maneuver performed when one finds out that they have been admitted into Western Washington University. It is performed by the dancer first blurting the word, "Western" one time. The dancer then begins twisting the hips sharply in a horizontal direction while rocking the shoulders from side to side, and keeping your hands completely straight (as in The Robot or a karate chop) close to one's chest and jerking them up and down. This dance normally calls for two people, doing the same dance face-to-face.
Person 1: "Dude, Brady just got into Western too!"
Person 2: "I know! I saw him over by the vending machines doin' the Western Dance."

Brady: "...western." (Dancing)

kitchen dance

Too many people in the same kitchen space, while they all try and do different things.
Waiting for someone to get out of the way because you need a fork and knife and they need a spoon at the same time. There is no need to apologize because we are all just doing the kitchen dance. Now get out of my way I'm hungry.

Dancing to music in the kitchen.
