It reminded me of that one song you hear at 1:50 a.m., when they call ‘last call’ at a club,” dancer Sam Pete is quoted as saying. “And it’s the hottest, nastiest song you’ve ever heard in your life, and you’ve just got to put your drink down and dance to it. You’ve got no choice. Your body is insisting on it.”
