Week 8 Essay, Dance and Trance.

Music is beautiful, it's also powerful, that's why the dance floor can be considered the "loci of true virtual reality." It allows us to be our true selves, and to do what we might not do any where else. Have you ever went to a club and found yourself dancing with someone you would not give the time of the day else where because of there looks, or race? Have you ever listened to the cornie pickup lines just because you were feeling the moment?  I believe this is because of the rhythm of the music,as the bass drum beats through your soul it puts you in a trance where we just want to move. Even some of the shyest people become someone else on the dance floor, there filled with an newfound courage, even the non dancers with no rhythm become perfect dancers. The dance floor is where we forget about color, race, and sometimes even gender. We don't even care if we can or can't dance, it's all about the connection we make with the other person. It's all about fun for the night the inhibition to do what we want and not be judged by society or even have to think about our morals, which went out the door when we stepped through the door. Now don't even talk about the night after, I think this is how most  people end up being up a one night stand. Add the lights, music, and liquor, and a rhythmic atmosphere this leads to a animal attraction. I was told how you move horizontally is how you move vertically. Dancing is some what of a matting ritual you get to feel the other person movement, it's like getting a pick into each others inner being. So go ahead free your mind, body, and soul, dance your way out of class.
