Why the fancy footwork and big skunk energy (smell)?
Who knew skunks could kill it on the dancefloor?
Not to mention the unique visual of its fuzzy tail all spread out like a duster.

While this funky move is certainly amusing to watch, it serves a higher purpose.
The animal is actually walking on its front paws to scare off predators.
The spotted skunk is usually polite enough to give a warning before breaking into dance, writes NPS.
They stamp their front feet, raise their tail, and hiss.
(Like you before every video call.)
Well, one time.
So, if you ever come across a skunk doing his dance, back off.
If the dancing handstand fails to intimidate (wow, nothing?
Avoid doing anything else that could be considered threatening.
Could it simply have been marveling at that dance show?
