There’s nothing like awkward teenage slow dancing to make you STOP worrying about teen sex. In the following heeee-larious video—plucked from the 1981-87 Philadelphia teen dance show Dancin’ on Air—four pairs of postpubescents are spotlighted for their incredibly awkward slow dancing skills.

(My observations: Mike and Kelly are obviously planning on raping someone—and not necessarily each other. “Pisces” is not only the man I’d most likely slow dance with, but I’m also stealing his nickname. As for Eric and Vicky? CUT IT OUT, MOM AND DAD! THIS SHOW IS FOR TEENS ONLY!! GAH. YOU’RE SO EMBARRASSING!!)
