Oh dear, this solution really puzzles me... When I was young(er) I used to go to discos every weekend, and dancing always made me feel really good. Whenever I had been in a sad mood, dancing (and therefore moving a lot) would make me feel a lot happier afterwards. So does it really mean that I used to suffer from tarantism?? 
(I don �t expect any serious answers - I �m just thinking aloud. *lol*)
EDIT: aaah... I�ve just found another definition on the Internet ---> "a disorder characterised by an uncontrollable urge to dance". This means I can stop worrying now, because my personal urge wasn�t uncontrollable at all.  |

I have seen that exact chicken as the icon demonstrating morning exercise. Actually what he is doing in Lina and Kates pic is from a dance exercise program for youngsters. Where did you get it thanks ...  |
