Gotta Dance With Us

Gotta Dance With Us – Home For Everyone Who Loves To Dance

What makes you want to dance? There's something about music (or lack thereof) that makes me want to move, in whatever form that may be. I was just curious if anyone else had any thoughts about what makes us dance?

Have you heard that song called 'Electricity' from the musical Billy Elliot? It's a great description of the energy and freedom that dance gives to dancers. (Or at least dance gives to me) Here are the the lyrics to that song:

I can't really explain it,
I haven't got the words
It's a feeling that you can't control
I suppose it's like forgetting, losing who you are
And at the same time something makes you whole
It's like that there's a music playing in your ear
And I'm listening, and I'm listening and then I disappear

And then I feel a change
Like a fire deep inside
Something bursting me wide open impossible to hide
And suddenly I'm flying, flying like a bird
Like electricity, electricity
Sparks inside of me
And I'm free I'm free

It's a bit like being angry,
it's a bit like being scared
Confused and all mixed up and mad as hell
It's like when you've been crying
And you're empty and you're full
I don't know what it is, it's hard to tell
It's like that there's a music playing in your ear
But the music is impossible, impossible to hear
But then I feel it move me
Like a burning deep inside
Something bursting me wide open impossible to hide
And suddenly I'm flying, flying like a bird
Like electricity, electricity
Sparks inside of me
And I'm free I'm free
Lots of things make me want to dance... Stress, Emotions, Exercise, Confidence, oh and Music!

Tina- Love the lyrics to that song, hits the feeling right on the nose!
Just can't stand/sit still. There is something, maybe the beat of the music, that I have to move to; even if it's just tapping my foot. And it doesn't make any difference what kind of music. I have the same experience in church.
I think the more you move and experience energy body movement just to feel the music is what makes my soul want to dance
Happiness makes me want to dance. Fortunately, I am happy most of the time -- that is when I feel the music most! I can not bring myself to dance, however, when I am sad; the feelings just aren't there.
