Why, oh why, the dance of choice? It all started with the foot stompin' timeline, where the earliest recorded dance moves were a mix of awkward flailing and unrequited love.
From the Egyptians' slow jive to the Greeks' hip-swiveling olympics, our ancestors danced with reckless abandon, often to avoid being devoured by wild beasts or other humans.
Fast forward to the present day, where dance memes have taken over the internet, and we're all just trying to overly competitively sock game it out.
It's simple: because our ancestors were weird, and we're just trying to keep up with the Joneses.
