Dance, dance, dance!

The music...the universal language that connects us, all human beings!

Shake your body, step to the right, step to the left, stretch your hands, jump up, circle the belly...MTV is making money...by making all of us happieee....

What is behind music and dancing??? What is so exciting and addictive about them?
Why do we want to move???

Tatttabaa...taattabaa...ttaatabaa..

I discovered i had a passion for dancing from an early age, yet i never knew, why i liked it this much...so many years of exposure...i came to the conclusion that dance (accompanying the music helping to create a context to move our body in synch) is an expression of humankind's love to eachother and to life in general....We dance to connect with the life energy, we cannot touch, yet feel...connecting all of us...which is common amongst humans.

When we dance, we somehow momentarily demolish the borders, we created for ourselves, manners and ideas. All we seek is connection...and feel that we all exist together...we are part of one big community...

This is what the music industry got wrong....when they stood against file sharing between individuals on the grounds of piracy...They thought they are in the business of producing and selling songs...As a life force, human connection is critical for us to survive...like water, and kofte (minced beef meatballs). The music industry is in 'connection' business...the question for them (if they are to rise from their ashes) is to find ways to create connections by leveraging music....not by restricting access to music:-)
