The United States, a place of freedom and the land of the brave, has a bald eagle representing us and the rose as our flower, but what about our country's dance? From the twist to crunking, nothing has seemed to work, except now. President Obama has stated that the dance to represent America is and forever will be the fist pump. An elegant yet funky act of celebration has more than the people of Jersey Shore dancing this special dance.Hollywood is already making a film about it called "First Came the Fist, Then Came the Pump," a story about a contemporary New Jersey town that bans fist-pumping after a teen fist pumps off a bridge. The film, starring Johnny Weir, discovers fist-pumping through the memory of the death of his brother, in the war-winning country of the United States during a meatball eating contest. The music industry has already jumped on the wagon of success, with How-To videos of fist-pumping, and is becoming a sport that will be in the next Olympics. So fist-pump until you get tired or fall off a bridge because America says so, and we can't complain about that.
