Dancing In The Woods

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dancing is a good release. Music is too, just on it's own. Hiking/walking in the woods, running, yelling into vast nothing-ness, getting shit accomplished, laughing at a good joke, having a crush, taking a hot bath.
But dancing... it's really the best. :)
So is this weirdo song...

Dramatic Dances

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Growing up me and my cousins, sister, friends would do the most silly dramatic dances. I even made my barbies do it, if their arm couldn't bend that way, then i'd force it till it broke off. :)
Even in my early 20's living in NYC, our favorite way to entertain each other at home was through various arts (drawing, playing music) - the one burned into memory is our ridiculous modern interpretive dances (depeche mode, leotards, flashlights!).
This is what people did before electricity... they told stories, they played music, they danced and enjoyed the free show. Their body was everything they needed, not the thing they lugged around.

Here are some dances I did to my new favorite singer.... no way could i do her songs justice since, well... they are not typical dance songs.

Dancing... Forever Young

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

(Also, speaking of forever young... i am trying out the strawberry trick for whitening my teeth. I'll tell ya'll if it actually works.)

DAncing into SAnity!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I have to dance. There is snow here again, and I would like to become indifferent to the white on the ground and my whitening skin.
Why can't my teeth be white too?

Dance Off!

With the dawning of my video camera, I have found a dance mania re-kindled in me. Being a recluse about to embark upon a long long winter that may include many snowed in days... I came up with a lil' something fun for us all to do while inside.
A Dance Off!
No for realz... I even made ah-nother website for it today for those dancing fools, brave ones, silly ones, ready to be embarassed ones and even the ones who will blow us away.
Wanna see the spanky new website, then go HERE.
....
So here is how DANCE OFF works:

• I will pick one song a week (maybe more as we go along) for everyone to video themselves dancing to
• Each person uploads their video and sends me the link so I can put it on the Dance Off post of the week

... it's that easy!

The best part is EVERYONE is invited. Young, old, housebound, wheelchair bound, slow moving, fast moving, dramatic, bouncey, beautiful, hidious, professional and hopefully hysterical too! The whole point is to have fun, for free!

Sooo, Go NOW to find out what this weeks song is...
like now!

My Cat Is Scared Of My Dancing

My Cat Is Scared Of My Dancing from Leslie Richard on Vimeo.

My Cat Toots gets really unraveled when I turn up the music and start dancing... I don't know why? But you can watch and see. ;)

....

Dancing Benefits ::::: Health, attitude, breathing, self love, feeling hawt, and the phobias of little cats. I have this idea that when people are happy they treat other people and the earth with kindness/balance. Dancing makes me happy.

Especially when I am snowed in with my very own cabin fevah.!
