I was in a stage musical of this in 1993 playing the Roddy McDowall character.. we got a better review than the touring Broadway prod. of Hair! lol it was very zero cool!
I've never seen "The Cool Ones" but I think what's going on here is, this new dance ("The Tantrum") was introduced on national TV and probably that first couple (at least) was hired to perform it at this swingin' club. And then, the rest of the hip teens get right into it by freezing in place when the music stops. So pretty soon, it'll be the dance sensation that's sweepin' the nation.
Lol it really didn't take any skills at all to be considered as a dancer before. Shake body, Raise arms up, twist, make funny faces, rinse and repeat...
Ah.... was that Roddy McDowell hiding behind those shades? Another perfect example of a generation of people acting individualistic. Nothing has changed much.

It's like Red Light/Green Light for the LSD set. I dig the music, though.

I thought dances that kids do today were bad. Then again, our kids simulate sex acts with clothes on so, maybe this isn't as bad afterall.
