Removed note "Unfortunately the accepted answer is locked...". This isn't true: the OP can always change the accepted answer. Also added a missing punctuation mark.

I've had to endure watching my employer's C-Level crew play air-guitar Karaoke at the end of one very successful quarter. It's unpleasant. And it would be far worse if they had made a back-office person with a normal-sized ego do it. OP should just show up, smile, and say there's no way they're going to do it-- for the sake of the audience. | |

| Dec 18, 2019 at 18:06 | comment | added | Daniel R. Collins | Thank you for sharing this; arguably it's the best answer. Sorry for your troubles, but thank you for helpfully sharing it to the rest of us here. (E.g., I'm old enough to possibly overlook this possibility.) | |

| Dec 18, 2019 at 16:45 | comment | added | bob | This is an excellent point. Thirty years ago, "go for it, it'll soon be forgotten" would be safe advice. In the age of record and share funny videos to get a viral hit, there's a decent chance your dance may live a long time and get much more attention than you bargained for, especially if the party is well attended and your dance is viral-video worthy. I would get out of it if I were you. | |
