I am definitely going to look up the meaning of the dance. It is good to have someone who can tip you off about the songs and dances the kids like. At least with computers, teachers can investigate things before getting involved. Teachers have to be so careful.

I had a similar experience with one of our tradional Sri Lanka dances sometime back. I am extra careful now.
