I Feel Like Dancing!!

Mercy Me Happy Dance! C'mon! After the 1st couple dances a brief 20 seconds, the energy changes so try some of these dance moves. Even if you feel silly. Even if you are sitting in a chair you can move your arms like them.

Today I got some bad news. A real downer about my shocking water bill for a new irrigation system.... But I came here and saw Dustbunny's Macarena post 575. I started to smile and move with the music. Everyone so happy. And then saw this one....Now I'm feeling like I can let go a little and I feel like I'll live through this. Let's dance our way through life 🤗

Sorry for your news. Glad your a bit relieved . Loved that video. Might try doing that. Right now I am trying to learn the Thriller dance. I have a tutorial video and the Michael Jackson video in my media (so I don't have to watch commercials while I am learning). Getting some of the moves down (not doing the jump, I am in my 70's :) ). These are a lot more fun than standard exercises.

That Dire Straits dancer maintains considerable bilateral dynamic body mass momentum that he then uses as a tool. Same thing as many tap, and jazz dancers do dynamically moving except he has evolved into that balanced movement with those exaggerated, herky jerky sync's movements. Much of that is also in the Uptown Funk video linked to several times earlier within this thread. The more someone repeats any movements, due to neural plasticity, the more they become part of automatic bipedal earth creature body movements. And he's obviously repeated his style for years. That is also why I ski so well, because have made thousands of smoothly reacting bilateral rebounding dynamic turns over winter decades.

My nervous system brain executive pilot to homunculus motor control wiring is highly developed for an Earth monkey because I've been at it for so many years with it continually building up new dendrite attachments and chemical structures. Also as an old guy "Use it or Lose It". In like manner, all my adult life have danced in a certain bilateral dynamic rebounding way (kind of 70s Counterculture "Space Dance") that after decades it has become natural with a much fun flow.

If any of you lively sweat peas come out to San Francisco this weekend, you could be dancing with me to jam bands in cool sunny marine weather about McClaren Park's concert circle of Jerry Garcia Amphitheater.

James Brown was a most amazing dancer with a unique frenzied style with foot and leg movements that are literally too fast to easily visually grasp. His drugs of abuse were weed, angel dust, and blow but expect the latter two were a latter use since they did not become readily available until the 70s. So like many of his peers, tap and jazz dancers, he likely developed his dancing while using weed just like in this era is a thing with Hip Hop and Rap something rarely mentioned publicly due to its illegality. That is because such can increases the level of body sensitivities that then can be applied with repetition to learned body motor control. Maybe due to his unhealthy greasy diet, he developed diabetes and then painful swelling arthritis in his legs with the latter sadly crippling his ability to dance. In his last decade he also developed prostrate cancer that killed his sex drive and much of his happiness.

When I danced at Fillmore West rock concerts in 1970/71, numbers of others stage right practiced similar rotary ankle movements per his style that evolved from tap dancing styles, something I never tried or developed. Later felt not complicating lower leg movements with that tapping or ankle movement better allows my own smoother 3-dimension space style. But the rest of his general basic bilateral dynamic body movement is similar to most of those shown in the Uptown Funk video.
