dance-a-raoke [dans'uh-rôh'kç]

n. 1. An audience-participation dance improvisation “happening” in which players face the ominous Wheel-O-Miss Fortune in tests of stamina, wit, and willingness to move. Challenges may include but are not limited to: re-creating 30 seconds of a video clip; dancing a duet with a professional dancer; immediately creating and executing an impromptu dance to a song selected by the audience or even Miss Fortune herself. 2. A place where would-be dancers can emerge from the privacy of their living rooms to perform their here-to-fore unseen “grooves” to a song of their choice. Liquid courage available at the bar prior to and during the proceedings.
