Instructions for Bear Dancing - Part 3

If you've mastered standing still in time and jack-hammering then you're well on the way to bear dancing like a pro, and ready for more...

Rule 3: Bear necessities are bare necessities      
   
Architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe adopted the motto ‘Less is more’ to describe his minimalist aesthetic of enlisting every design element to serve multiple visual and functional purposes. With many bears tending towards the ‘more’ rather than the ‘less’ this is absolutely applicable to bear dancing.  Like any masterwork of architecture, you've probably built your body as a shrine to...  the gym? ...tattoos? ...beer and chips?  You've invested a lot of time and effort growing muscles under your belly not to mention under the hair on your back. This is an opportunity to show off your hard work, whilst at the same time dealing with the increasingly unbearable heat on the crowded dance-floor. But don’t jump the gun.  Wait for the magical flash-mob moment about two hours in when, without warning, it’s suddenly ‘shirts-off!’ and join in the wave of literal ‘less-is-more’.
