"Dance floor imperialism" refers to the phenomenon observed at social gatherings where a designated space for dancing exists. In these settings, the individuals on the dance floor often develop a deep intolerance for those who choose not to partake in dancing. Fuelled by a kind of mania, these dancers become relentless in their efforts to pressure non-dancers to join them, creating an environment where the desire to conform to the dominant dancing culture becomes almost inevitable. Dance floor imperialism manifests as an explicit expectation for everyone to participate, and non-dancers often find themselves succumbing to the relentless persuasion, inadvertently surrendering their autonomy on the dance floor.
The atmosphere on the dance floor was charged with dance floor imperialism as enthusiastic dancers actively sought to recruit non-dancers into their rhythmic domain.

Get the dance floor imperialismmug. Anyone who works at the front lines of an organization. At a bank, it would be the tellers. At a service organization it would be those who deal directly with clients or customers. Floor monkeys can of course be well paid if they are, for example, at a large multinational corporation where they make sure computer servers are up and running properly, make sure a company's invoices are paid on time or provide information, reports or expert knowledge to business-to-business clients. Essentially, they are at the bottom of the organizational pyramid and rarely if ever have direct reports.
John and I are both floor monkeys at work. If were weren't there to keep things running management would be screwed. I don't think they even know what we do.
My boss always has his head in the clouds, if it weren't for us floor monkeys this company would grind to a halt and all of the "organizational goals" would be irrelevant
