Wedding dance challenges

On Saturday night I was forced onto the dance floor several times. The left leg is a major problem, the spasticity weight of it glues it to the floor. The left arm is permanently bent and bounces around awkwardly.  Luckily I wasn't dancing when the Macarena, YMCA or the hoky-poky were played. Way too much overhead arm movement for my abilities. I had no rehab training on any type of dances. 

Dancing is great for you.  Where the fuck is your doctors protocol to get you dancing again? Or is your doctor incompetent in that also?
