Hand Pocket Dancer

A person who stays in a area not exceeding 2 square meters dancing in a combination of dips, twirls, fancy footwork and other kick ass moves whilst keeping his hands in his pockets at all times. Eye contact from spectators only serves to spur the hand pocket dancer on, although all comes to an end once his wife comes back from the toilet. From then on the hand pocket dancer appears like any other normal drinker propping up the bar.

"Hand Pocket dancer's off again!"
