It still blows my mind that in the original "YMCA" video, they do not do the dance. It's just the Village People singing on the streets of New York in a "we didn't get a location permit" sort of way and doing generic disco dancing. There's a part where you think they're going to do it, they put their arms up on "Y"... and then clap. Mindblowing.
It's also 0% a secret how gay this is. I mean, they're singing outside the Ramrod. And... look at them. This was not some esoteric code that people in the 70s were too naive to decipher.
Anyway, shout out to whatever camp counselor, in both senses of the word, made this into a cute letter-arms dance for kids. You definitely knew what you were doing.
