Dancing Like Nobody‘s Watching
I love to dance. I mean, who doesn‘t? It‘s such a great way of releasing energy but getting filled with new energy. It‘s a way of expressing emotions and getting filled with emotions. It‘s an art form and exercise at the same time.
It always amazes me how shy some people are to dance in front of others or even in groups of people who are all dancing and having fun. Why is it ok to run in front of other people, but not to dance in front of them? Running and dancing are both a type of movement. Is it because people are afraid they might be „bad“ dancers? What defines a bad dancer? Someone who can‘t hold a beat? Someone who has a hard time controlling his limbs? Let‘s face it, most people are amateur dancers with no professional training of any kind. So we have a good excuse to be „bad“ at it. And why do we have to dance to someone elses beat anyway? Just dance to your own beat and the hell with the rest of them. It‘s your body, your movement and your flow, so don‘t let anyone else tell you what to do with it!
Dancing the Stress Away
Sometimes when my son and I come home after a long day at school or work, we blast the stereo and start busting the groove like there is no tomorrow. It‘s a great way of releasing the afternoon tension and gives you energy to finish the few hours that are left of the day with a smile. I suggest you try it today when you get home from work. And let your kids participate. They might learn some old school dance steps and who knows, you might learn something from them. Plus, it‘s fun and won‘t cost you a dime. Just make sure you let go of your inhibitions and do it like nobody‘s watching. It just makes it more fun. Don‘t you agree?
