We are reminded of a Washington Post headline from July of this year, "Some day, we'll hit the dance floor again. And it will be glorious."
That's one word for it.
In a scene that is sure to please both overprotective fathers and lockdown enthusiasts alike, the Czech Republic provides us with an advanced look at the Pandemic Prom:
While it may bear a closer resemblance to prisoner transfer day for well-dressed felons, these are in fact high-school couples lovingly locking arms, facing away from each other, and gracefully lurching about like extras on "The Poseidon Adventure."
And you thought your prom was awkward.
On the upside, you can skip the breath mints, plus no more crushed corsages and pretty much everyone dances as poorly as you do, kind of "Footloose" meets "The Walking Dead." Not only that, but technically speaking you still get to romantically dance cheek to cheek.
Well, cheeks to cheeks, anyway.
Not sure how dad is going to feel about that one.
