I see my young students doing this trendy Korean dance. I think that it's called "Ma Bok E". It's something like that, anyway. You tap your forehead and chest, and then you wave your arms around and tap your head. I saw a commercial on tv where some teenage girls were doing it, too.

Does anyone know the name of this dance? Also, if you know a link where I could get a video of it, I would appreciate it.

I dont know a link to a video, but it's not a dance.

It's a comedy act where the troupe dressed strangely and basically repeats these weird motions for about... well, it seemed like eternity when I watched it. It's got a weird-funny about it, but the joke wears thin pretty fast.

Is there such a thing as Korean dance craze that isn't weird?

Remember their version of "techno dance"? How could so many people get is so wrong?

Really? That's funny? OK, you did qualify it with weird-funny.
