In this A to Z of Life D is for...Dancing

The "experts" say that 55 per cent of communication is determined by body language, 38 per cent tone of voice and only 7 per cent through words. 55 per cent of communication is body language? Yep that's the animal origins kicking in. Apart from Sex-which should really go under S in this A-Z-dancing is probably the healthiest form of bodily communication there is.great for the body, great for the mind......So D is for Dancing!
One of the things I find interesting about contemporary western culture is that even though music is everywhere, piped in to lifts and supermarkets, played in banks and at football matches you don't often see people dancing in supermarkets and banks. In a sense, music and the natural response to music-dancing-have become disconnected. Unfortunately, in most social contexts it's OK to listen but any sort of bodily movement is often met with raised eyebrows. It's just another way in which modern life tries to stop you from having any fun..

The good news is that no matter how hard our so called "civilization" tries to kick it out of us we are and always will be animals. All animals dance. Embrace the animal! Do a jig as often as you can, wherever you can.

A great read! My husband teaches ballroom dancing, which has the extra benefit of body contact with someone you care about! If you dance well together, there are other things you'll do well together....

Thanks for the great comments on my Dr. Romance blog -- where we're talking about all things relationship. http://drromance.typepad.com/dr_romance_blog/
