Drawn human figures giving precise instructions to the viewer, published in a British magazine at the end of the nineteenth century, are one of the best-known examples of artists being asked to show other people how to dance. The diagrams appeared at a moment when social dancing in Britain was both very popular in ballrooms and private homes, and often discussed in magazines. Its key features are the precise stepwise instruction, upright posture and strong black-and-white clarity.

The style derives from technical limitations and the heterogeneous quality of indie internet animation, making it harder to capture faithfully than mainstream anime or film design. It also carries a bargain-basement Flash and amateurish reputation, so it is often dismissed as crude rather than studied as a language. That distance can help contemporary work: it can add immediacy, cheekiness and insider appeal. It suits anything that wants to feel like it was made by enthusiasts for enthusiasts, rather than by a studio.
El estilo deriva de las limitaciones técnicas y de la calidad heterogénea de la animación indie en internet, lo que hace más difícil capturarlo fielmente que el anime tradicional o el diseño cinematográfico. También tiene reputación de Flash barato y aficionado, por lo que a menudo se descarta como tosco en lugar de estudiarse como lenguaje. Esa distancia puede ayudar al trabajo contemporáneo: puede aportar inmediatez, desfachatez y atractivo cómplice. Le va a todo lo que quiera sentirse hecho por entusiastas para entusiastas, en lugar de por un estudio.
