Dancing in the Workplace New Fad
for Many Big Companies – CoverUps.com

BOSTON, MA. Business magazines have lately been raving about a new phenomenon that's taking offices in large east coast cities by storm. And it’s not a new kind of toner. Forward-thinking executives at more than a few prestigious companies have begun to implement a new policy that promotes ... dancing. Time slots are being made for group dance-offs. Smoke breaks are giving way to groove breaks in the comfort of a worker's office or cubicle.

Don Sheilds of Capitol Widgets Inc. says his workers usually dance after lunch. “It not only helps them exercise after a hearty meal to make them feel better about wasting valuable company time eating, it gets the blood flowing to prevent drowsiness.”

But there are also skeptics and disapprovers who urge conventionalism.

Chris Cane,  a Wall Street correspondent at the Washington Post mocks the trend, calling it a joke to the business world.

“Other countries are laughing at us," he said. "How are people expected to take us seriously when employees are getting paid to riverdance? I've got a better idea – let's start paying employees to play video games and go on ice-cream binges. Anyone can make the argument that having ice cream makes you a happier, better worker. It’s a serious problem when the workers of tomorrow read about this and think it’s all fun and games. This should not be publicized.”

Despite these killjoys and curmudgeons in the conventional media and more traditional companies, some observers say the craze might make its way to the west coast. Don Sheilds offered Coverups his outlook on the future of this epidemic.

“If this hits LA, there'll be no stopping it. I can only imagine the moves Californians will come up with around the water cooler.”
