strictly ballworm —
In medical terms, the dance party is called the “filarial dance sign.”

Images of the swinging dances are considered sure signs of lymphatic filariasis and can even distinguish the type of harm the testicular tangos are causing.
In the NEJM report, the authors, Amit Sahu and Bharat Aggarwal of the Max Super Specialty Hospital in New Delhi, spied the festering festivities in a 26-year-old man, who had a one-month history of scrotal pain and swelling, as well as low-grade fevers. An ultrasound examination quickly caught the ballsy revelers responsible. Blood testing confirmed the diagnosis, and examination of the young worms identified them as Wuchereria bancrofti microfilariae.
The man was given a three-week course of the antiparasitic drug diethylcarbamazine, which can kill microfilariae and some adult worms. After that, his symptoms resolved and there were no more signs of parasitic partying.
