Last time you waggled

[mintybonbons]

I'm finishing my job next week and although I will miss the people, I'm glad to leave. I'm already anticipating a few air punches and a waggle dance.

Hit me with the last time you waggled...

How do you waggle? Never heard of it.

You what?

What on earth is a waggle??? Seems I'm not the only only one that isnt familiar with this saying . Which country or county are you in?

I waggle whenever I get a move right in Tai Chi!

The waggle dance is a honey bee dance, which has been extensively studied as a form of communication, when a bee has found a source of honey and comes back to tell his fellow bees. The precise movements signal the whereabouts of the honey. A teacher friend told me this and how they got all the kids doing it on a school trip.

@mintybonbons- As I'm neither a honey bee, nor a child at the school your friend works at, I assume this is a reason I had no idea what you were referring to . Enjoy your waggle dance though!

I waggled tonight watching Greatest Dancer. I don’t know why we are so invested in it but seeing as it makes us happy I waggled along

I find Google Maps works better than a dance.

I'm surprised so few people knew what you meant, OP! I'm a waggler. I think many people are, they just don't know it!

There's a beer called waggle dance, too.

It's a little triumphant dance.

Never heard of it.

Oooh I waggled on Friday morning as I got some good news from work. It turned out to be too early though and I regretted it when it didn’t turn out quite as well as I thought while waggling.

Never heard of it

Is it like the Birdie Song?

@picklesdragonisawelshdragon I never knew. Just had a look - it's in Tesco, Morrison's, Asda.

I was just trying to describe that feeling when you want to burst with joy and do a little dance.

I had some of the beer last night, does that count ?

What? Never heard of it. Can you describe it?

Does that work? It's more in the hips, but I haven't found a vid of that...

Or this...

A whole body wave/ shimmy of not great grace or beauty, but expressing that 'yay' feeling.

You do it! You must do it? Just don't call it the waggle dance?

So jealous @mintybonbons I hate my job and am job hunting. Good for you!!

Ha ha! DP and I sometimes communicate in Bee. This thread has given me joy to find someone else who is fluent in Bee.

Mind you, I say "fluent". It's not uncommon for him to be looking in the top left of the fridge for the milk when I have clearly wiggled it's in the bottom (tee hee) right.

@TheNestedIf That made me laugh so much!

My dance goes like this - plant feet on ground, make hands into fists, and wiggle.

If I was to break it down it's bending one knee while shifting weight to the other leg very fast, and moving shoulders left to right.

There is a bit in this video at 1 minute: m.youtube.com/watch?v=_lqNlE3ywQs
