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.

My Cat Is Scared Of My Dancing

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.!

Dancing In The Luck Cabin

That "crazy hippy" is me. Dancing in the Luck Cabin. By myself, just like Billy Idol suggests...... (it's very good for your health!)
Thought I would start off my video camera testing/testing 123 with an embarrassing hilarious BANG!



Now ya'll know what I do when I am taking a break from splitting logs, cooking meals, taking care of animals, walking in the peaceful woods and writing blog posts. ;)
