What’s Slapdancing, you say? I am not surprised you haven’t heard of it. I will help educate you. Slapdancing is a traditional Skittermander rhythmic dance that relies heavily on hand movements and can include rhythmic slaps, claps, and snaps, as well as, various small finger-worn percussion instruments. Streamers are also sometimes used to accentuate the movements.
My Great Grammy was a Slap Dancer back in her time. Watching vids of her as a welp always fascinated me. I know not too many Skittermanders are into this form of traditional dance anymore. But I wanted to bring it back. So, I added some newer dance elements and music to it to try to reach the new generation. I call it 'Slap Hop.' It’s just my way of helping. Plus, being able to use my Solarian powers to manifest a giant hand to help with the dance doesn’t hurt any.
