sober corpse does ironic "ha ha, i'm white but dancing to hippity hoppity music" dance.

pilled up corpse is just drenched in sweat, tomato red faced and jaw grinding like some kind of industrial machinery.

version does football chant, loads of blokes with their arms round each other bouncing up and down dancing. he's a bit embarrassed to do it, but does so with the corralling of his brother.

This is pretty much spot on, apart from it's a mate doing the corralling and not my brother.

has luke tried to pretend he doesn't like dancing?

all we ever do when i'm over his house is dance. he dance's very much in the portly jamaican uncle at a barbecue vein, whereas i opt for the kurdish militiaman who's just liberated a village from isis style.

It's a stupid running joke that I assumed luka would have understood as such.

mvuent lives in blue velvet, so does an awkward slow dance with some all american girl in an off kilter 50's pastiche setting.

yyalrdin's so fucking amazing. all his art, his music.

he used to do carjackings and everything.

i took a train in mexico to a town were they allegedly invented tequila, there was free tequila on the train and a mariachi band. we had a tour around the tequila farm/complex and in the end there was a dancing competition. at this point everyone was drunk and i was the only non mexican person. they asked for people to volunteer to dance and cos i was drunk i thought i should give it a try. they shoved a microphone in my face and asked me where i was from. i didn't think about it and said holland, then the whole crowd turned against me as arjen robben bereft mexico of a world cup quarter finale (or half finale?) by stealing a penalty against mexico the day before. i never saw a nation that aggressive and merciless. it did give me some sort of extra power though feeling all that hatred. and i moved as smooth as i had never done before, almost making it to the final.

the only holiday my dad ever paid for when i was little (as was often brought up in arguments) was a trip we went on to kenya when i was 5 or 6.

these massai dancers came to the hotel and took my mum up to dance. i got insanely protective of her and ran to the dance floor, kicked this 9 foot warrior bloke with spear in the shin and took her back to where we were sitting.

i had a similar experience at millwall football ground when my mum was wearing a skirt, climbed over some seats and all the blokes jeered because they could see up the skirt.

I LOVE dancing. I'm not sure what my style is or how to describe it... I can say that it's an unholy amalgam of attempts at styles and moves I like and have subconsciously tried to copy, but modified by the substances I've taken and the music I'm dancing to. It goes without saying that none of these things are supposed to be together and the music may well be completely inappropriate so overall - I have to face facts here - it's obviously a big fucking mess


BUT


Who cares? It's all so obviously right! Music and dancing are so inextricably linked and the two together so perfect that when it all clicks with the right sound and crowd there is almost nothing I can think of that I'd rather do.
As well as dancing myself, I love watching people dancing... I love seeing good dancers, I love watching enthusiastic dancers (good, bad or indifferent), I am almost beside myself with happiness to see people getting into it with huge smiles splitting their faces in half.
One recent thing that reminded me of how important watching dancing is was on New Years Day when we went to this mad party in this huge house 30k out of Lisbon. Beautiful place in the countryside with a massive living room (around 100 or 150 capacity I suppose) with a huge soundsystem and on one wall there was this huge glass sliding door which meant when the shutters were open you could see out over these hills sloping away from you, beautiful woodland etc etc there was limitless booze included in the ticket price, the music was great, the crowd was super friendly, we travelled down there with some cool people... it was a lot of fun, and yet, at a certain point a big part of me started getting bored and I analysed my feelings and I realised that it was cos it was a closed system and there were only so many people there, and after twelve hours I'd seen everyone who was there and - more important than that - I'd seen every single thing they did on the dancefloor and nothing about that was exciting or new any more.
I'd never thought it before explicitly but I think subconsciously I've always kinda understood that most people dance by having a main - maybe two or three second - loop that they repeat a lot and possibly two or three minor loops that they edit in and out plus a couple of flourishes to punch in at moments of excitement. The numbers might vary (some have more loops, some have fewer, maybe they are longer or shorter loops etc) but I reckon that's a reasonable description of how most people dance... and as well as saying that literally to myself for the first time I realised how important stimulation from other dancers (just from their actual dancing) is to me in a club. I dunno if that's me being weird or if that's true of everyone, I've never heard it said out loud, but then again I've never said it to myself in those actual terms before.
Years ago one of my friends said to me that he likes there to be lots of girls dancing and at first I put that down to his wanting to chase girls but he denied that quite strongly and over the years I have come to understood that he did mean something different to being on the pull... in fact maybe he meant something similar to what I was thinking, but I could be wrong.
