I'm not sure there was an actual dance called "The Safety Dance" Many thought that this song was a reaction to the violent "slamdancing" that was popular at the time. Others thought that "The Safety Dance" was a sly reference to "Safe Sex" , which was beginning to be a concern at that time in history.

According to the band the song is about nuclear war, which was DEFINITELY a concern at the time. Bordered on paranoia. Safe sex was later and slamdancers tended to listen to music other than MwoH.

what about the dance they did in the video, I don't think I've ever seen it performed in public, but this may be what the original poster of this message is looking for
