CHAIN DANCE

This one is easy. One moment youare headbanging quietly, minding your own business – and suddenly, a sweaty arm lands across your shoulders. Before you know it, you are locked shoulder-to-shoulder in between a Danish office manager and a Swedish lumberjack, while jumping up and down in unison like a row of drunken Vikings kicking invisible trolls.

Chain dances are here to stay at COPENHELL. They usually start as a chaotic hug that no one wants to end because it feels so nice, and everyone else around the person should therefore be involved as well. Unlike traditional folk dancing, these chain dances are typically simple, stationary and friendly enough for everyone to join without risk of bruising.

The only legitimate reason to break the chain is if your pants fall down. Otherwise, it is bad luck unless you buy everyone a beer. Otherwise, the rest is easy.
