Intelligent Dance Music

Intelligent Dance music, or IDM for short, was founded by acts from labels such as Warp Records, Rephlex Records and Ninja Tune Records. It is beat heavy, electronic music made to listen to instead of just dance to. It often uses syncopated and heavily processed percussion as the underlying foundation for the songs.

The Synthetic Dream Foundation, Aphex Twin, L.F.O., Boards of Canada and Plaid are some of the best-known IDM acts.
Squarepusher and The Synthetic Dream Foundation make killer Intelligent Dance Music.

Vermont State Dance

A motion performed by hippies, most typically in a concert or music festival setting, and with the aid of mind expanding drugs. The motion is defined by semi-rhythmic swaying with ones hands tossed up the air.
The setting at last night's Phish concert could be best described as one big Vermont State Dance party.

or...

Patty took a lot of LSD at the concert and proceeded to do the Vermont State Dance all night long.

Random Dance Party

A small dance rave that can happen at any time, in any place. All you have to do to start one is yell as loud as possible, "I DECLARE THIS SPOT TO BE A RANDOM DANCE PARTAAAAY!" and then you and your friends must get crunk with it. As for music, someone can drop a beat, or you can sing your favorite song, or everyone can just dance to whatevers stuck in their head at that particular moment. The typical Random Dance Party is very short however, and most of the time only lasts about five seconds. If you want a light show for your RDP, then go to the website mentioned in the example below. Just put that website up on your screen, turn out the lights, and turn up the tunes! The rapidly flashing colors should give your RDP a crazy techno-rave kinda vibe. Or maybe it will just give you a seizure...

The Random Dance Party was invented at Berkeley Preparatory School in Florida.
"I do declare this definition to be a random dance party!" *everyone boogies*

Swing Dance Pendulum

A variant of the Slow Dance Chubby for those with more class. In addition to being a fun and awkward accessory, it keeps time quite well!
Partnered with the cutest girl in the class, I managed to make it halfway through "Sing, Sing, Sing" before the ol' Swing Dance Pendulum started up again.

The River Dance Fuck

When you bang without moving your hips or shoulders in an effort to be discrete.

also known as, River Dance Fucking.
Brenda's grandparents are over for the holidays. They're both blind and deaf, so we've been doing The River Dance Fuck all over the house.
"Honey, I think there's a couple in that phone booth River Dance Fucking." "How can you be sure?"
Once we figured out that people could only see our heads and shoulders, Brenda and I made The River Dance Fuck behind the dumpster at Curly's Smokehouse a Friday night ritual.
