No Dancing At The Jefferson Memorial
A group of libertarian bloggers and journalists had themselves a little iPod dance party at the Jefferson memorial this weekend. They were soundlessly boogieing to honor their free-thinking hero when Park Police approached and “forcefully asked us to leave.” One girl kept dancing as her friends were led away and got herself arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. She’s been released but her blogging friends have chronicled the hilarity here, here and here.

In the words of Jefferson:
“Dancing is a healthy and elegant exercise, a specific against social awkwardness . . . .”
He recommended dance intruction and practice to his daughters and as part of the University of Virginia curriculum.
Jefferson himself had taken dancing lessons at about age 14.
