Rabbit Dancing on the Rise

Maybe it was because I was at Coachella this past weekend. Perhaps it's always been going on and I've just never really given it notice until recently. Whatever the case, rabbit dancing is here. You may be wondering what the hell rabbit dancing is. It's the act of dancing, or hopping up and down in a jerk-like motion with hands perched at 90 degree angles by their armpits. The dance can be found predominantly among the indie set and seems to be a favorite of the too-skinny androgenous lanky boys and girls hopped up on garage-made speed. When the music starts, the hands crawl forward in a digging motion or bop up and down depending on the tempo. I've even seen this move performed on one leg, giving it a whole rabbit-flamingo feel. All I know is that one minute Dan Deacon was about to spin and the next everyone's actually hopping to Wham City. It's fucking weird and probably the most awkward dance move to date. But it's almost too awkward in that everything flops and jangles and smacks and gets loose. I don't know. I just can't watch the dancing like rabbits without thinking 'fuck like rabbits' and I sort of want to vomit because that was my ex-boyfriend's speciality and, wow, am I glad that's over with.
