One evening, my family gathered in the kitchen, preparing for Thanksgiving dinner (and the visitors that come with it). With my dad on "cleaning duty," my mom scrambling to perfect her green bean casserole, and my brother and I trying to find the balance between being helpful and staying out of the way, the afternoon had been a bit tense.

Then, Peter Gabriel's "Solsbury Hill" began playing through the speakers. Without warning, my parents began grooving to the beat, laughing as they swayed.

Just like that, the tense mood was lifted, and I enjoyed an evening with the people I love the most - all thanks to a spontaneous dance party. It's one of my favorite memories, and makes me smile whenever I think about it.

It's fun to witness the many styles of dance that flutter across GoComics. Young and old, short and tall, sophisticated and silly, GoComics characters certainly have an appreciation for dancing.

Like Rose, who will never pass up the opportunity to pirouette.
