How come people don't do that little move anymore where they jump in the air and kick their heels together when they're happy or excited? That was apparently a very popular move back in the day, but you don't really see it these day. 🤔 #musings

Maybe the food got worse and people got heavier, and the dancing changed from swing and jive dancing to simply grinding against each other, so no one has the skills to jump in the air anymore 🤔

Oh, or it's inflation that caused people's wallets to be much heavier so it isn't conducive to jumpin?

Very possible. Can't deny the plausibility of that explanation. I admit, I've tried the move before, and it's actually not as easy as it looks. When you jump into their air, you gotta use one foot to tap the other one, then bring it back before you hit the ground. Because of you don't, you could break your ankle. There is a skill to it. And with that comes a certain required physicality.

Now I'm getting inspired to start trying out this move until I solve it. 🤔

It's definitely worth a few minutes of your time. Just watch that ankle.

Yes, that's what I want to solve. How to do it successfully and avoid possible injury.

I'm kinda wondering if jumping mostly with the straighter leg, and then catching yourself with that leg would help. That way the bent leg has more time to unfold, and wouldn't get a bunch of weight on it if it didn't unfold fully before reaching the ground 🤔
