<strong>what</strong> gets <strong>you</strong> dancing<br />
Can <strong>you</strong> dance? If <strong>you</strong> ask <strong>you</strong>rself or anyone around <strong>you</strong>,<br />
most of us would be able <strong>to</strong> fondly recall a memory or two<br />
of dancing and feeling great while moving our bodies.<br />
Some people prefer dancing when they are alone, others<br />
need a glass of wine. Sometimes <strong>you</strong> surprise <strong>you</strong>rself<br />
with <strong>what</strong> a fantastic dancer <strong>you</strong> can be – perhaps at a<br />
wedding or on a night out. And sometimes <strong>you</strong> surprise<br />
<strong>you</strong>rself because, even though <strong>you</strong> feel like dancing, <strong>you</strong><br />
don’t dare <strong>to</strong> get out of <strong>you</strong>r chair.<br />
In his media publication Material for the Spine, the dance<br />
artist Steve Pax<strong>to</strong>n asks: Why is dancing something we<br />
think needs <strong>to</strong> be taught? Why do we lose our ability <strong>to</strong><br />
just dance around like kids do? What prevents us <strong>from</strong><br />
dancing – an activity that does us good, that is social and<br />
healthy?<br />
What would we need <strong>to</strong> do differently in our schools and<br />
in our societies in order <strong>to</strong> maintain a natural curiosity<br />
and joyful relation <strong>to</strong> ‘just dancing around’?<br />
And right now? At precisely this moment? What could get<br />
<strong>you</strong> <strong>to</strong> dance? Which song? Which friends?<br />
