Someone suggested changing the name of the weasel wardance to "joy dance".
 
Not a good idea - "wardance" is accurate.  Consider the following tale:
 
My brother and I were moving.  We already had most of the stuff in, Felix
and Mikey were in the new place and busily exploring, we only had a set of
(full) dresser drawers to carry in the last few feet, and we'd be mostly
done.
 
So my brother is carrying this huge drawer full of delicate electronics
weighing mebbe 50+ pounds, and he gently sets it on the bed.  As he lowers
it, I see little Felix right underneath and yell at my brother, just as he
lowers it all the way and stands up.
 
I yell "FELIX IS UNDER THERE!!!" and run over.  Brian jumps around and picks
up the drawer.
 
What saved Felix was the soft bedspread that he got "mashed" into.  I
expected a hurt, whimpering little weasel looking for at least a cuddle, if
not a vet.
 
What we got instead was a *weird*, wild version of the weasel wardance!
Felix was *pissed* off, snarling and mad as hell, and jumping around in the
classic yet "violent version" of the weasel wardance.
 
To the little guy's credit, he didn't this us hoomans were the assailants.
He was rapidly looking everywhere for this new mortal enemy.  He calmed down
in mebbe 30 seconds or so and got well cuddled, but the lesson was very
clear:
 
His rapid jumping around at random was to make his "opponent" miss, so he'd
be ready with a counterstrike.  That's what the weasel wardance *really* is,
as far as I can tell.
 
This theory makes even more sense when you realize human martial artists of
a variety of styles use the same tactic!  Look at the "footwork" of a
US/European-style boxer, or the bobbing and weaving of the upper body in
Ali's "rope-a-dope".  In Brazil, there's a complete martial art system based
on a *dance* (forgot the name) that uses rapid random
jumping-around-like-a-lunatic tactics...Bruce Lee wrote of a variation on
Chinese Kung Fu that used a "fluid, constant-motion" style very different
from the fixed positions in more traditional styles.
 
So no, I don't think "joydance" is a good name.
