I have always thought that it is genius to fall down on the floor while dancing. Like an accident, stumble, fall, but quickly stand up, just to fall down again. In the middle of the dance floor, just to laugh about it. I did it a couple of times last Saturday, just that no one was dancing anymore.
The videos below are on a different level. Falling down never looked better.

The following clip of Tandi Iman Dupree has been all over the interwebs, but I thought it is a good fit. Still one of the best entrances and the exit is to the floor. From the Miss Black America pageant 2001:
Prodi dearest! We share the same love for falling, lookie, lookie:

Great post. The dancing in these videos is inspiring, daring, and courageous.
