But as we get older, we neglect this side of ourselves, this need to dance, often brushing it off as a primitive part of ourselves that has no place in our modern world. The problem is that music and dance is a very large part of who we are, and to eliminate this for from our lives does more bad than good, regardless of how good you’re at convincing yourself otherwise. You never know when you will run out of opportunities to dance or find that you have squandered so many of them away. Take them as they come and your life will be filled with much greater joy than you may ever realize. Take Garth Brooks excellent commentary on dance. His song “The Dance” chronicles not necessarily the importance of dancing but of participating. Given the choice, many who have lost their lives in some risky endeavor would more than likely tell those left behind that they would not have traded the dance for one more breath. The lyrics to this song are somewhat haunting “I could have missed the pain but I’d have had to miss the dance”.
You’ll find the concept of dance and music in every genre of music, not just country songs. Other great songs about dance include the song “Let’s Dance” by David Bowie. The lyrics to this song include the stanza “Let’s dance for fear tonight is all”. The truth of the matter is that you never know and dancing is a great way to celebrate living.

I would hate to see what a world without dance would be like. It would be like having kids without laughter and that would be a sad world in which to live. If you want to keep your kids dancing then you must teach them to dance. Teach them that it is okay to dance and be silly around the house. That it is okay to dance their way through their chores (hey if it makes them smile while taking out the trash I state go for it!). Teach them that dancing is a great way to express joy and that laughter is the best thing to follow their dance.

Dancing and Music is as much a part of us as is eating and drinking, and eliminating it from our lives is only harming us and no one else. The next time you’re at a party, let loose and let the rhythm take you right into the center of the dance floor. Don’t worry if you think you cannot dance or that others are looking at you, it doesn’t matter, because dancing isn’t about knowing all the right moves, but about letting that need to express ourselves through dance in a social setting. Go ahead and add dance to your life, you’ll be glad that you did.
