Awkward dance breaks make the Republican National Convention worth watching

Don't let big names like ScottBaioand that guy from Duck Dynasty fool you the real stars ofthis year'sRepublican National Convention won't begetting up on stage to speak.

An estimated 50,000 people have gatheredin Cleveland, Ohio, this week to either cheer or jeer or report onthe Republican'snow-official presidential nominee, Donald Trump, and unify on policy mattersahead of November's election.

The days have been long for delegates, who've been tasked not only with voting onand ratifying amendments, but listening intently to hours worth of speechesfrom famous politicians and not-so-famous reality TV personalities.

And yet, through all of the chaos and repetition, the2,472 men and women representing their states at the RNC (well,most of them) have remained almost ecstatically dedicated to showing their American pride.

Much of what's been making headlines out of the Quicken Loans Arena thus far has been related to speakers and "confusing" speeches, but there's a strong contingent of people on Twitter who seem much more interested in watching what happens whennobody's at the podium.

Between Monday, when the even kicked off, and Wednesday morning,approximately 15 hours of "gavel to gavel"footage from the conventionfloor hadbeen streamed live for all to see viaTwitter, TheRNC's YouTubechannel, and various other media outlets including PBS, CNN and CBC News.

While the program is indeed very heavy with speakers, short breaks between the action on stage have been servingas musical interludes in which delegates dance around.

Oh, how they dance around.

Tired as they may sometimes appear, these people press on in their patriotic finery at every break in the proceedings, lighting up the stadium with red, white and blue as they shimmy and almost clapto the beat.

They are bold, they are proud, and, for the most part, they embodyeverything the online world has come to love about "white people dancing," or,as it is sometimes known,"my parents at awedding" dancing.

As news coverage from previous conventions appears to show, this behaviour is customary among Republican delegates though with so many ways now to watchthe event online, more attention is being paid to them than ever before.

Below are just a fewchoice moments from the 2016 RNC's first two daysin which delegatesjammedout together, alone, and right into our Twitter feeds.
