Dancing does more than what is commonly thought; it frees the 'soul'. Ewen. Hi Ginger, thanks for the comment.

The truth in this to me though is not even in the dance…the dancing is just a vehicle to reach a “place” and that place is the “freeing of the soul.” Okay you may not think of it as the soul…there are many words for it…but that part of us…that right now in this world is trapped inside our bodies. Dancing perhaps releases the “hold” of this world and allows the spirit to soar.

Reminds me of "dancing with the faeries" as described in Froud's Faeries Oracle book. I am not much of a dancer..but I dance...of course others laugh but then...I am just adding to the laughter of the universe so it is good...lol. The truth in this to me though is not even in the dance...the dancing is just a vehicle to reach a "place" and that place is the "freeing of the soul." Okay you may not think of it as the soul...there are many words for it...but that part of us...that right now in this world is trapped inside our bodies. Dancing perhaps releases the "hold" of this world and allows the spirit to soar. IDK..just my thoughts, simple as they are. "The Ancient Chinese Daoists claimed that if you do this dance everyday, you will live until you are eighty." Of this I have no doubt....people that dance probably tend to be healthier (the exercise) but more than that...they probably have a better frame of mind and less stress.....AND yet I am sure it is not as simple as that...it is probably that in freeing the soul through dance...it is much more satisfied to stay in "this world" longer.
