Particularly the ballet…do you think they’d think “What the fuck?”
I think they’d argue about whether it’s a religious ritual or a courtship dance intended to attract a mate. Then they’d notice the bulges on the male dancers and they’d all agree – “courtship dance.”
:eek:
As long as they do not go to a rave we should be ok. . . .

Or a Morris Dance…

Ssss-Aaaa-Ffff-Eeee-Tttt-Yyyy
Safety-Dance!
How about the highly sacred ritualized warfare of the mosh pit?
If I can recall correctly I believe it was some of the first Japaniese to take a tour of the U.S. in the mid 1800’s who saw a dance as they described (and I’m paraphrasing here) as “a bunch of people hystarically jumping around… we had to keep from laughing so as to not insult our guests, but this was a very difficult task.” (or something like that)
As we all know, most aliens communicate by tapdancing and farting. They’d probably think we were miming death threats at them.
I think after watching mosh pitters they’d think we were an extremely crazed and violent species. Unless they were the Klingons or Romulans or the Gammoreans. Then they’d think “What wimps. They’re not even drawing blood.”
If it was ballet, any species would probably destroy us. And they’d be right.
Never mind what they’d think if they saw us dancing, imagine what they’d think if they saw us copulating! :eek:
Hey, I’ve danced WITH extra-terrestrials.
