Dancing

In response to watching Matt dance and reading his article.

This clip of a man dancing in different part of the world is really cool. It’s like he is trying to send of burst of energy in different countries of the world. There is no better way than sending bursts of happiness than dancing. This is because dancing is often done when happy and everyone can understand the same dances whatever language they speak. Matt also does a stupid dance which is comical and makes you laugh. A comical dance also makes more people join in the burst of happiness because it isn’t hard to do and any age can do it. The same goes for me, if I am walking to get lunch and someone is doing a stupid dance on purpose I am more likely to join than if it was a dance with many steps and confusing twists and twirls.
Another thing I noticed from the movie was that in the first countries he was dancing on but as he went from country to country more people joined the man’s dance. Kuwait is the first one where someone dances with him. He dances with a dog. This shows that dogs understand the joyful language of dancing.
I think his essay is very interesting and how he talks about how a brain is made for a tribe but ends up in a world of 6 billion and can meet any of them at any time. This is as Matt said overwhelming. Only a century ago you couldn’t get a plain to take you across the globe in less than a day! To stand against this threat of 6 billion people who are all different a dance can show you everyone is a human and have the same basic needs.
After watching this and reading the essay the thing I want most of all would be that all politicians would start to dance together and put aside their differences.I chose this picture because to me it represents the worlds people of diffrent color and language using one unified language, dance.
I got this picture from...
