No, it's just a dance.
And what a dance it is.... (chuckle)
There's one cut names "Skating".
My good friend and career-long Technical Editor Professor William Schneider (I get to call him Bill) wrote to me telling me that was the first cut to which he'd listened. This is why, from a tutorial on photo retouching quite a while ago:

Bill just loves ice skating, so I thought a good, personal skating rink for him might be those kidney-shaped turtle ponds.
Fool Disclosure: The tune is from "A Charlie Brown Christmas", where Lucy, Linus and friends are ice skating. Not a "true" Christmas song, blah, blah.

Hey, I just received an email from someone I don't know.
And the subject was "Increase your drive..."
I just tossed it in the delete folder.
I HAD to be spam, because I don't even play golf.

I was just goofing around with an Escher-influenced design.
The I got the idea to tag the colors.
And I did it wrong, but you can still change the colors by selecting all, and then on the Colour Editor in HSB mode (is the best) drag the puck around the hue area.

The Xara file is free, I'm giving to the community 1.) because the ClipArt forum area has cobwebs on it, and 2.) why not share?
Worse case is that I don't get credited, and that part of my ego has calluses on it. :)
Enjoy!

Ya beat me to it, I was thinking of doing something similar or almost it, saw something like this but very simple on Pixabay, But family matters have taken priority and still do.
I would for sure give credit to ya when I do get to doing more, I thank you for sharing and allowing the community to use this creation.
Your flattery makes me blush, Sir!
I'm just trying to keep this Godforsaken forum alive. You see how much MAGIX promotes the product via an excellent channel. Not ever.
Here's a Golden Oldie in the Sprint of Christmas Past, I guess:
These are Xara Brushes, they are bitmaps so don't try editing them, and they are our Christmas Gift to our TalkGraphics community.
And I built them nine years ago, so jusr about every version of Xara Designer will take them.

Here's how to play around (in the Christmas Spirit):
1. Download the zip file below, and pop it.
2. Open the Xara document in Xara. You can try opening it it Malware Pro, but your chances of success are dim.
Every different string of images are document strokes brushes.
3. As an experiment, select the popcorn stroke and the Ctrl+C it.
Press Crtl+N to start a new document and then press Ctrl+V to put the popcorn string on the page.
Because Xara stores pasted stuff in the document itself, you now own the popcorn string in the new document.
4. Choose the Freehand tool. This guy is the one to use with preset strokes.
5. Go to town. Unless you live in the suburbs. See the next figure.
