If you like dancing on the sand it doesn't matter which/who or what god your worshipping.

I believe they liked to keep moving because of quicksand.

There were untold deaths when they started to "twist" in the 60's.

it was the only dance to be issued with a health warning.

"ONLY DO THIS DANCE ON SOLID GROUND.NOT SAND."
