I am, admittedly, one of those people who likes to dance alone around the house. I suppose that is not a big confession. I assume many people dance around and around all the time. It’s good exercise. It’s liberating. It’s fun. Funnily enough, many years ago, someone noted out if nowhere that I looked like I enjoy dancing. I think it comes out as part of my whimsical nature.
In college we’d go dancing every Friday and Saturday. After college, the same. Well, the immediate post-years. Then, it became less and less. And, that is a sad thing. However, now we have these socoal distancing rules that actually encourage more dancing. People are home. People are buying up tons of gel seats because of all the videoconferences. Thus, I’m convinced that people are dancing up a storm in between calls.
Let the music play.
Also, let’s think about the nature of dancing a little more seriously. I came across a quote this week which was rather typical of what pops up on a Facebook feed. However, I rather liked it.
That life framework is perfect for these times. We didn’t pick this song. This music. However, we can certainly control how we engage in this dance. It is all about perspective and what we want shaping it.

Yes, I love Dance Church and InterPlay for the reason that the joy of body movement brings awareness and joy. Allan Watts said we don’t dance to get to the other side of the floor, we dance to experience the dance. Love it.
Thanks for this post.

When you can’t stand or walk any more, dance in your chair.
I REALLY miss dancing in my kitchen – movement is built into me.
