In the comments above, I postulated on what was going on inside the mind of this infant.

However, careful reflection on what I said reveals that I may have generously attributed too much astute-ness to the child. Infant mental activity is probably more primitive than I postulated. For instance, it is likely that this baby didn't categorize the dancers into the triple category: (1) posh, (2) celebrity, (3) entertainers -- but, instead, utilized a more primitive concept (such as merely something like "these hot babes") -- to conceptualize them.

Botn my nephews danced similarly - before they began to speak - but they do not do so now. You should consider the effect of mirror neurons.

Thanks, Ted.

I'll take a look into these mirror neurons, and then I'll reflect more on the matter.
