I Feel Like Dancing!!

A rare 6 minute video that actually shows recent era Grateful Dead "spinner" dancers that evolved over decades and was not what one experienced 50 years ago at say the Avalon Ballroom by early hippies. And yes, all those in that dancing zone are certain to be high on various drugs. Note I don't twirl with my own 3-dimensional freestyle dancing style that has more dynamic footwork like classic jazz or tap dancers.

Jack Straw Jam/Dead and Company/Dodger Stadium 6/11/2022.


There was a recent thread on hippie clothing where I noted, those styles are not what hard core followers here in the SFBA tend to be wearing or have worn for decades. This short video interviews a few folks with goings on in the parking lot about "Shakedown Street", including their clothing and vibe.

 
Those Georgian dancers were awesomely dynamic with their unique lower body style. That last dancer just explodes. My own dancing shares some of their form qualities of a somewhat quiet upper body minus arm/shoulder movements with most of the dynamic mass movement momentum maintained down below in rebounding bilateral footwork. The women with those floor length dresses are moving their legs unseen below like that also. Use a similar upper to lower body separation when turning skis. Of course, Irish step dancers and tap dancers use a similar lower leg dynamic to maintain a powerful mass momentum. That Black Sea coastal regions developed women with some of the worlds most beautiful facial features that are quite evident in that elite group.

I danced off and on for hours yesterday at the outdoor street fair and will be driving back up for day 2 in about an hour. Last of 3 bands I'll enjoy this afternoon is Dead Roses, a Dead jam band, sure to bring out some of their spinner dancers I love.
