Dance Myself to Shadows




Dance myself to shadows

for Jack Bruce Jan 11 2016


Idiot Dancer, Hyde Park C.1968





Cream – Dance The Night Away Lyrics

Gonna build myself a castle
High up in the clouds.
There'll be skies outside my window;
Lose these streets and crowds.
Dance the night away.

Will find myself an ocean,
Sail into the blue,
Live with golden swordfish,
Forget the time of you.
Dance the night away.

Dance myself to nothing.
Vanish from this place.
Gonna turn myself to shadow
So I can't see your face.
Dance the night away.
Songwriters: WILKINS, WAYNE / BROWN, ALEX

Kind of like a
DANCE ZONE.

--- so, not my own words, but words I find myself inhabiting.

The energy and pervasiveness of dance.It's not just about dance steps - in fact, it's not about steps at all.
It's about inhabiting the music,
about being the music * * *
& it's wonderful!
Dance enables you to find yourself and loose yourself at the same time.

It's not dancing to show like John Travolta,
  Not a performance
Although, why not add a bit of an ego trip?

I suppose it's a bit of a process
  A letting off steam -an introversion for no specific reason
    And also an expression
      Without judgement (in its purest form)
And after all, it is healthy, both mentally and physically.

Although, idiot dancing is pushing the boat out a little bit far maybe.


Of course, there is also the interactive element
  unison between partners
   cohesion and intuitive understanding.

Or the group phenomena (forgetting line dance)
A number of people thinking as one, almost like a choir.
