OMG, In my youth we used to go to the local skating rink, when they played that song everybody got on the skate floor and danced. A Joyous memory to be reminded of.

That's just awesome. The Hokey Pokey was at every wedding everywhere, when I was growing up. I doubt they still do that, but I remember that dance very well. It was nice of the neighbors to gather up and do that for Phyllis. She looked so happy.
