then came the Rave scene then the whole dance all night every night and it has now become a normal part of everyday life very much like Prayer or Worship is to a Strong Christian...
Get it, got it....go on
Dance-Industrial REligion Can Dance be Considered a Religion?
So here i are, at New City, sitting on the side of the Floor, observing. And i have observed, listened, and thought to myself. Can Dance be considered a religion? I think so, in the right mind that i are in right now. From what i have seen. The way that the bodies on the Floor moved in compleate obsolite, time with the beat of the bass flowing through the club. They moved so clearly and defined as if in worship to a higher being. I could see music flowing through the wraths of the hands. Of course there the odd one out, stumbling, or even falling. Obvious not in a deep sense with the surroundings. But a majority, swaying and moving in time, in step. The Bass flowed freely as water from a well. Of course all these simple minded yet complex beings had a religion of there own. And just conversing with these individuals. Elaborating on the religious views of such. Some claim there to be no God, some claim to go to church out of respect, some have no views and choose no to talk. And then there are those with a compleate seperated, alienated view called the Wiccan. Of this i have no knowledge, but they claim to be a part of that group. So they all migrate here. To do what they love, to do what they need. I myself, personally, dance to get it out, to show the world. I myself claim that Dance is a religion that i follow. Of course whan i are on the floor, the world around my fades i and i are taken to a isolated place where there is nothing but the beat of the bass, the soothing calming sound of the synthesizer. Like a song once heard long ago is being reunited with my kindered spirit. My arms go as in worship to a something of somesort. I too am controlled by the music, the sound. It drowns out the world. My head overcome with amazment. These people i share this with, we put our faith, at this time into our dance. We are all equal yet, differnent. We are all dancing to the same tune yet we have our own styles. I have observed the flaing, the crunchers, the headers. I myself am a part of it all. What ever is playing, the music controls my moves. The faster the beat, the faster i move and the more complex i go. Of course keeping time with one part to the rhytm of the bass. You feel the vibrations through the floor making you move your feet as though you are on hot ash, or coal. Once your mind is in control, then you are in control of your destiny. What move to make. But above al the DJ controls all. What he spins is what you dance to. Thats the way it is, so therefore the way it shall be done. Of course only the best DJ's can control the universe that you have sunk yourself into. You dance to his tune, yet you dance the way you want. You want to praise the floor that you are dancing upon, fo rit holds you and gives you the ultimate right to flow free. What the music says, you do. You are no longer in control.
As i spin on the floor just as the disc plays, the world becomes a blur so that you have to close your eyes. And you are surrounded. The heat of other worshippers calms me and i feel safe in what i have submerged. Theres the odd touching of hands and bodies, but no one cares cause your all here for the same reason. DANCE. Ok so the bar or club in general is a place for pick-ups and one night stands, and the fuel of the dance. As i sit i observe lovers in a tight circle, holdind one another in the arms, feeling the music as it compleates them. I myslef discover that, with a lovely perosn i have wandered into. The feeling felt in the body is more than will ever be felt. As she places an arm on the shoulder, you have no choice but to hold them as well, and the look, the stare and the smile. Closer you come together feeling the music overtake the soul, and speak to one another. You move in time to the beat from the floor.
So in conclusion, i believe that dance may be a sub-cultured religion. Underground yet so popular. With classes, and compitions, and freeness. Everyone dose it. Its something that has been done for many decades,a nd will continue. Everyone believes in the DJ, and dance to worship and dance to praise. Wehter it be self, or for another reason. We are all apart of the dance revolution and it shall overtake. Who says you have to be drunk to dance. I wsnt drunk. I had one drink. Yet i danced so hard,a nd it felt so right, and natural. And it is a part of me. Ther is no right or wrong way to dance. You do it. The music controls you, and you are under control of the DJ.
