A
dance originated in the south, which is primarily performed spontaneously upon delight, in which the dancer bends over, as if his back has given out. The moves are simple, but the timing takes practice. The dancer must slightly bend and tilt his head to one side, and keep time only 1/8 of the actual beat. The primary movement is simply the snapping of fingers on either one or both hands simultaneously, and upon each
snap, the dancer shifts the position of his/her back ever so slightly in preparation for the next "
shift" and "
snap".

broke into
cutting THE OLD MAN, and I knew he must've gotten good news on the other end of the
line.
