David Bowie’s song, “Let’s dance,” often echoes in my imagination. Dancing is probably one of the most unusual kinds of art in which a human’s body can communicate.
I never liked to dance. I don’t do this sophisticated activity even today. What is more, I do not have enough skills to dance appropriately. I enjoyed dancing only when I was drunk. Because I try not to drink alcohol, I have practically no occasion to dance today. But, I do not regret it.
Nevertheless, all these facts do not disturb me appreciating all those who love and who like dancing.
Dancing is probably one of the most magical activities which can connect both art and sport. There are some songs, thanks to which I feel an unspoken desire to dance. These are, for example, Fat Larry’s Band’s – “Act Like You Know,” Madonna’s “Into the groove” or Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal,” and “Just good friends.” For me, it is a miracle when someone who does not like to dance wants to dance when he hears some melodies.
Humankind knew the art of dancing from the very beginning of the history of music. We, the humans, could dance as soon as we started producing and giving other people a melody.
For me, the hard-to-describe relations between our body and the sounds taken from our surroundings is one of the most mystic riddles of art. In one of my previous posts, I had already written that I loved to dance when I was a kid. I asked parents to turn on the music, and then I asked them to go out of the room and shut the door. Then, I started dancing. It is hard to explain to me why I was and still am shy while dancing. Maybe it was connected with a lack of self-esteem? I believe that these questions will remain open in my imagination until the end of my life.
