On the internet people can be whoever they want and let people see a side of them they might not show anywhere else. The same can be said about the dance floor. A person can be quiet and shy but if they let the music take control they can let their true self show. They can dance and be around people that they would have never even given a second glance else where.
Some people may be better dancers than others but everyone in the world can dance in their own way. Its something the entire human race has in common. So I think that it is one thing that can bring the world together. No matter where you are from or what language you speak you can hear the music and feel the rhythm. You can move your body to go along with the music and you can share this experience with everyone.
There are many reasons to dance as well, you could be dancing to entertain, dancing at events and celebrations such as weddings, and just dancing anywhere to have fun. You can dance alone or with a partner or even in a group. There are dances that can have a lot of meaning to certain people, such as rituals that a culture may perform, or one many people would be familiar with could be a father-daughter dance that many woman have at their weddings. Dances can be full of energy and emotion, which can influence the way people dance. When dancing to a romantic song a couple might take their time and dance slow as to take in every moment that they dance together. When dancing to have a good time a person might have a very high energy and dance fast. No matter how a person decides to dance they are expressing themselves.
Everyone has some way that they can relate to dancing and what it means to them. Once a person steps out on the dance floor they can automatically relate to everyone there. Everyone is listening to the same music, feeling the same rhythm, sharing the same experience. So now these people whom you may have never thought you would have common interests with are now your peers. This is very similar to the world you may enter when you go online. You can go to places online and find other people who share your interests, you may never know these people offline but online they are your friends. They maybe completely different than you, live in a different place but a common interest can bring anyone together.
When you step onto the dance floor it is like entering another world, where everyone is equal, everyone is there for the same purpose. It does not matter where a person is from or what race they are, all that matters is the music, the rhythm, and the dance. You can dance with people and never even speak a word to them, but you are communicating through the movements. And when the dance is over and the music is off everyone can return to their own lives.
Hey great job, I really enjoyed reading your blog this week. Usually I get bored reading peoples blogs, but your was very interesting. I am looking forward to reading your future blogs.
ReplyDeleteAnyways I agree with you on how people can be anyone that they want online. They can be any one and they can also be any age they want to be. This is what bothers me because when you meet people on line there is really no way of knowing who they really are. Your guess is as good as anyone else’s. The same goes for the dance floor, people can be any one they want to be and the best part about that is that no one will judge you when you are dancing. And it is amazing when you step on the dance floor, like you said it is like stepping in to a different world. But it is amazing how as soon as the music is shut off everything changes. And everyone acts like they do not know each other, even if a couple of minutes before they were dancing next to each other and having a really good time. But that may be because some people act completely different when they are on the dance floor
I think in the same way. A person, who listens to music and feels it in his /her core, can change and look different. Music makes people like sharing experiences and as you well said, no language is necessary. In fact, I can say I am one of them. I remembered that in one vacation my husband and I met people from different countries and in the only way all of us were speaking the same language, was when we were dancing. It is weird because I could not ever imagine that a Korean couple could dance Salsa music, but it is true. I am one of the persons that when is dancing specially with somebody special, can forget all people that is surrounding me. It is like a disconnection from the world and entering in a musical dimension that only let to be free and feel happiness. That is the way I am, however I think all of us (I mean women) have had a horrible date. I will never forget when I was young I had a blind date and to be honest, the guy was not one of my type, but I thought it is ok, it is New Year’s eve, so let’s have fun. I was accepting his lack of humor but not the fact he did not like to dance. No way. I stood up and left the place. I perfectly understand your point and I agree with it.
