D
is for Dancing
Dancing is the best feeling ever. Even if it is
just in your head at the back of the room at a Great Big Sea concert, or
crazy flailing in the box seats at the top of the room at same. Dancing
naked is apparently where it all starts, and the most exhilarating or frightening
thing ever, depending on your point of view. Listen to Kevin Bacon talk
about dancing in Flashdance. Lord of the Dance (not the scary one, just
a demon, as Tara would say) is a great song, and about the only hymn I
can ever remember liking as a child. Dancing can make you feel good
no matter what. You can dance in a chair, in your living room, in your
underwear, or under the lights of the disco ball in a room full of gay
men who all know the words to It's Raining Men. You can dance for pleasure
when the only music is in your head. Or the beat of the bodhran (sp?) can
make you dance even when it's the last thing you thought you'd want to
do. As Sean, Alan and the bunny would say,
"For God's sake, have a dance!"
