View source for Benzene Dance

Legendary dance created in a Upper Sixth lesson with [[Miss Bowden]] that shows the cyclic structure of the benzene molecule. Some more risque version have since been created that illustrate the electrophilic substitution reaction with a nitronium ion, however, the main point of these is to make the performer look like a complete idiot.

=Instructions=

The dance is quite simple. The first motion made using both arms straight ahead and them twisting them upwards and together so that the tip of the fingers form a bridge between them. With the seond motion, the bridge is retracted in favour of a more vertical positioning of the arms post-elbow. the final movement is a sudden jerk of the forearm in a downwards motion so that a 'V' shape is made from your arms.

=Warning=

Do not attempt the Benzene Dance in public; you will look like a moron.
