I Feel Like Dancing!!

Retro version of "UPTOWN FUNK" Mash-up:



Elvis is using the same basic dance movements as all the Hollywood musical dancers and African American tap/jazz dancers had done for decades before. And they as he, obviously all used certain drugs to be able to do so. That has been quietly inherent among musicians and entertainers's worlds for decades. As I noted earlier on the recent "Why do more women dance than men" thread, it is in order to be able to feel one's body better and because legal alcohol use that makes one feel less, so dominates mainstream cultures today, that is why many people, especially adult males cannot and won't be able to even if they try.

For anyone that doesn't know how to dance dynamically, there is no better example of how that is connected by natural dynamic bilateral left<>right movements than are demonstrated in @Lara 's link above to all those famous Hollywood clips from musicals. Although I never really danced before becoming an adult, I apparently absorbed that style mentally that came out naturally when I did beginning at age 19. Next Saturday at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in San Francisco will be mostly doing so all weekend.
