An apocalypse themed dance.
The basic idea is that the world is coming to an end because of our preconceived notions of gender and sexual identity. The only way to save the world is for every one to throw away their ideas of gender and participate in one epic dance. Participants are encouraged to dress as if they just walked out of the Apocalypse, to cross dress, or to experiment with their own costume ideas.
The idea originated in 2008 when the Gay-Straight Alliance of a small independent school in northwest Ohio wanted to come up with an original idea for a school event that would interest the broader student body. Originally titled "Apoca-Rave", but later changed to "Apoca-Dance" to avoid the negative connotations of drugs and sex attached to the title "Rave".

Are you going to the Apoca-Dance next weekend? I heard it is going to be AWESOME!
Jacob told me he is going to dress as Dr. Frank-N-Furter from The Rocky Horror Picture Show for the Apoca-Dance, but I think I'm going to stick with my original idea and come as a zombie.
Guys, if we don't all go to the Apoca-Dance, the world is going to end.

Get the Apoca-Dance mug.A dance you perform, after vast quantaties of cider have been consumed.
The dance itself involves rolling around on the floor and has the option for inclusion of: vommit and shouting, though they are not always necessary. The Cider Dance is always an enjoyable experience.

Get the Danger Dance mug.(noun) This phrase is a combination of the words swagger and dance. Swagger refers to one's comfortability aka confidence, pride, etc., with oneself, meanwhile dance is just a form of self expression through movement. Therefore the person that does the swagger dance exhibits swagger and the ability to simultaneously dance thus meaning that this person is dancing in a cool manner. The person doing the swagger dance is usually in other environments a reserved individual.
"Look at my gym coach over there dancing!"
"Oh my god, I can't believe it! He's doing the swagger dance!"
