And Then, Let’s Dance...

   Another day of very little news but plenty of propaganda is all I can see so I’m having a break from typing against all that I can’t fix.
   Seems like the right thing to do as word of censorship, fines and gaol for wot used to be called free speech seems to be drawing ever closer and, for sure, any Blog wot’s deemed to be a little ‘off message’ will be ‘removed’.
   Wot I want to share is a thing I ran into on that Tube that used to be You last night, images of which played in ma heed all night.
   Rather than embederate it, I’ve linked which, with luck, should open the piece in full browser window. I did this the better to show wot’s on show.
   You had enough rambling? Then I’ll begin.
   Firstly, I like the music, which is somewhat sad for a mid seventies lad, but wot grabbed my attention is the dancer. Now this dancer is either incredibly nimble on their pins or the movie is the result of incredibly nimble editing. I do believe it’s the former.
   Whatever, the dancing, feet and legs only, is both impressive and also more than a tad creepy and spooky. No idea wot the other fifty three million plus viewers thought of it. 
   Ear phone thingies plugged-in and the bass setting well set?
Okay, here’s the link  and I’ll guarantee you’ll play it more than once. I mean, hell, is that for real or wot? And wot’s it all about?
   I, me and myself tried some of they moves and managed to lift and lower my left and right foot, alternatively of course, a rather impressive three times each in five minutes...

“There’s a bit of insanity in dancing that does everybody a great deal of good.”

They dance inside a few pubs too, which is great for the followers.

Mac,
That's a chicken on a spring! I'm thinking that must be where Mr. Jackson's Moonwalk originated. I think its great that while the legs and feet are doing all that, the head hardly moves. Its a traditional dance from New Guinea (I think), called Zaouli. Set to great music.

As for the clog dancers, what would BLM expect their faces to look like after a shift down the pit? Good on those dancers for not giving in. Bloody Marxists ruin everything.

Ripper,
And that lends a whole new meening to the phrase, 'dancing like a spring chicken'.
Sadly, I still get drawn to watch it again - just one more time.
I'm old enough to remember when the Black and White Minstrels were top of the TV ratings with no offence taken by nobody.
