VD dance class

By muchagecko (Fri Feb 15, 2008 at 02:25:20 AM EST) dance (all tags)

Another episode in my hippie dance class.

Same group of hippie dancers with a few newbies thrown in, probably because of VD. I power my way through the flowing, ungrounded dancers my focus on the strength of my legs and the power in my torso.

I have never moved like the others I dance with. All of their dances seem the same thing - vapid happy flowers that don't embrace the distinct nuances of the different types of music played for us. They miss the most essential element of dance - connection to the earth. That's where the power lies. Feel your feet on the floor. Move up your body - let the feeling in your legs and pelvis push you around.

So tonight I'm doing my thing and I see out of the corner of my eye - the mirror image of myself. But it's not me. He is strength and grace personified. He moves as I do - at first I thought he was imitating me, but it's just his dance. I wonder what that means, but I pull my focus back on me.

Until my beloved chaos, the night is a struggle, but I find my chaos and even someone to share it with. One of the flower people has seen my dance as a challenge and I find myself dancing with him in chaos often.

After chaos, I find myself face to face with my doppelganger. I'm scared to death of dancing with someone as strong as I am and I look away from him.

I find my next dance as more of playful, lyrical game with an amazing woman I have never seen before. We chase, laugh, fall down and hug. I love her and I don't even know her name.

It was a great night, but I'm haunted by the man who moves like me. What kind of man is he? What makes his dance like mine? Seeing him out of the corner of my eye tonight was probably as good as it gets.

No, no, no by Phage (4.00 / 11) #1 Fri Feb 15, 2008 at 03:43:33 AM EST

It is completely forbidden to leave us hanging like that.
I hearby submit that you should approach said person. Judge him, and enter into a confused relationship that ends up on page 2 of the Sunday papers. Go on, now !

_{Realistically - As good as it gets ? Pffft ! I don't have much self-esteem, but even I would say hello to someone who seems as intriguing as that.}

And think of all the banging that would happen too by greyrat (4.00 / 3) #3 Fri Feb 15, 2008 at 07:53:11 AM EST

How can that be bad?

There is a sequence of mostly Peter Gabriel that we used to dance to in one of my cults. I'll have to see if I can find the titles and order, but damn! They certainly suggested (to me anyway) to be well connected with the Earth. I understand just what she means.

*One* of your cults ? by Phage (4.00 / 3) #4 Fri Feb 15, 2008 at 08:01:12 AM EST

How many did you start ?
Or is it some sort of franchise ?

None, but I've been in two. by greyrat (4.00 / 2) #11 Fri Feb 15, 2008 at 08:51:09 AM EST

And kind of, but not really.

The fact that they both humorously referred to themselves as cults mad the idea of them really being cult a bit preposterous. They were nice "self improvement" organizations to be in at the time.

The Catholic Church and/or the Wehrmacht ?

Sorry, it's the image of either the Pope or a Nazi getting down to Peter Gabriel that's making me do this.

Indeed. by Merekat (4.00 / 2) #5 Fri Feb 15, 2008 at 08:10:44 AM EST

But first confirm that other people can actually see him...

As an aside, I think it says something about my mindset that I spent a brief moment wondering what Victory Day or Venereal Disease had to do with dance class.

I must admit by Phage (4.00 / 3) #7 Fri Feb 15, 2008 at 08:16:36 AM EST

My first thought in this and other diaries was about STIs. I think it may be an acronym more popular in the US.

relationship.

I didn't mention it, but last night a fellow East coast dancer showed up. My relationship with her is way more interesting to me.

You may choose to believe that's aimed at the ~~other~~ emo dancers, and I shall choose to not disabuse you of the notion.

Before there was STD there were VD by lm (4.00 / 2) #6 Fri Feb 15, 2008 at 08:14:54 AM EST

I had a hard time reading this diary with a straight face.

The whole time I read this . . . by slozo (4.00 / 3) #8 Fri Feb 15, 2008 at 08:44:24 AM EST

. . . I was transported back in time to my budding youth. Sunday morning, the few cartoons that played were over, and all that was left were televangelists asking for money, and wait . . . were those boobies?!?

Strange looking dancers with crazy hair, wearing skintight outfits, dancing around. They were on a black stage; crazy, colourful lighting shone through the darkness and vomitous classical played as the dancers gyrated and leapt and embraced each other, sanguine and erotic. Fascinated, my pre-pubescent inquiring mind froze with joy at the sight of several of the female dancers wearing see-through costumes, their shining through the sheer white fabric. On later Sundays, I would even glimpse half naked women in the late morning . . . sigh. Ah, the memories of youth.

This diary was hot.

I find it amusing that by greyrat (4.00 / 2) #10 Fri Feb 15, 2008 at 08:47:22 AM EST

on. Word. Was. Left. Out. Of the comment above. Nice job leaving that to my imagination. A seven to you sir!

Unintentional, I must say . . . by slozo (4.00 / 2) #13 Fri Feb 15, 2008 at 09:04:00 AM EST

. . . but suppose it still works. I think the mistake was made because the word 'nipple' sounds so vulgar and base, when compared to the wonder induced from the female aureola . . . ah! that's the word I was looking for.

I just hope next time you are able to look them in the eye, and seize the opportunity - even if it proves not to be one at all - rather than be haunted by it...

Also Dinosaur comics mention Synesthesia shock horror :) http://www.qwantz.com/archive/001167.html

After chatting with a dance by muchagecko (4.00 / 1) #29 Sun Feb 17, 2008 at 08:26:14 PM EST

friend about my experience, I'm really certain that there was nothing to the guy that danced like me. According to my friend, dance styles and personalities have nothing to do with each other. No synaesthesia there.

I love those dinosaurs.

Got to love those dinosaurs by TPD (4.00 / 1) #30 Mon Feb 18, 2008 at 05:46:45 AM EST

and my point wasn't that you somehow missed that life changing connection.

More that who knows next time you don't seize the opportunity you might. These little glimpses of a WOW connection really are just the brains way of tricking us into finding someone interesting enough to start talking to.

99% of the time you'll find there's no other connection beyond that, but it's worth at least finding out if it's the 1% of times that there may be more :)

I'm glad dance styles and personalities have nothing to do with each other, or else I would have a highly deranged personality..... Actually maybe I am the exception that proves the rule :)

: Even if I wanted to find a partner, by muchagecko (4.00 / 1) #31 Mon Feb 18, 2008 at 02:32:09 PM EST

I don't have the time for someone else in my life. It takes too much time to find someone, and get to know them. I don't have time.
But thanks.
p.s. I'm certain you aren't deranged. Probably just frustrated and confused like the rest of us.
