Comments on: What Is That Dance In You? http://thelevityproject.com/2010/02/25/what-is-that-dance-in-you/ Creating social change through play, laughter and levity Sun, 29 Aug 2010 02:37:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Lance http://thelevityproject.com/2010/02/25/what-is-that-dance-in-you/comment-page-1/#comment-2602 Lance Tue, 02 Mar 2010 10:23:30 +0000 http://lifelaughterlevity.com/?p=955#comment-2602 Megan, There's this very common theme I have received from this, too. That of "wow what a very cool idea"...and that's it. What I'm drawn to in that, is this concept of how easy it is to have dreams, big ideas, "dance's" in our heart...and how hard it can sometimes be to live them. And I know I have done that, too...held back what is "possible" in me, to stay with the status quo. And that's what is so liberating about this car dancing, how it opened me up to see that - as good as it feels to car dance - there are still definitely moments of self-consciousness. When I can move beyond those, though...there is a world of possibility there. Megan, keep that beautiful dance alive in you...always... Karl, Great video Karl!! A common theme I have noticed has been the excitement shown by those who have done this, and how it has touched off a real joy in them! And that is so fun to see!! It's coming...you will soon be out there dancing on the internet...woohoo!!! Megan,

Karl,
Great video Karl!! A common theme I have noticed has been the excitement shown by those who have done this, and how it has touched off a real joy in them! And that is so fun to see!! It’s coming…you will soon be out there dancing on the internet…woohoo!!!

I'm no longer afraid to watching myself dance on the internet. I'm actually excited. I uploaded my video and I can’t wait to see how the whole project comes out.

Bord Fri, 26 Feb 2010 12:03:23 +0000 http://lifelaughterlevity.com/?p=955#comment-2531 I really love this post, and Lance, you captured it so perfectly: what is the fear or mundane routine that keeps us stuck in our skin? Why don't we just bust right out and DANCE when the music moves us? Whether it's the music on the radio, or the music of life? I've shared this event with lots of people and some say, "Wow, that's a great idea..." and it ends there. They're intrigued, but it's "not for them." Those fears, that comfort in doing the same old-same old. One person at a time, though, we can change how we move through this world. We can all dance joyfully about our days, and I thank all of you (Lance, Katie, Ina) for this great thing you're doing.

Keep boppin' your head, keep singing, and keep letting that voice in your heart shine!! Evita, This was so much fun!! And that's what I saw in your video, too. And that's what is so interesting...when I think about this and how it WAS definitely a stepping out of that comfort zone for me, too. Once I stepped out...and just did this...it WAS fun!! So, here I was fearing something that really ended up being such a good place to be. Evita, your words are touching and have very personal meaning for me. Thank you. Thank you for joining in on this. Thank you for seeing in this, the greater good that comes from this simple act. Thank you for really just being you... Aurora,

We need that today so very much! Thank you both again for making such an amazing difference out there and to so many people, and in such a fun way too!!!

The idea that we can all make the world a bit better...by simple acts. Like a moment in the car, sitting at a stoplight...dancing... And it was your encouragement (or was it the promise of candy??) that got me "out there", doing this, and connecting with that greater idea that this is much more than just a few seconds at a stoplight. This is about becoming comfortable in freely expressing ourselves, and in that same process - maybe touching something in another person, if even just for a fleeting moment - that being "out there" isn't so scary after all. Anyway - what you are doing here is really amazing and deeply good. So, it is an honor to share your space, and touch upon what this whole experience has meant for me. Peace and many moments of joyful dancing, Lance Katie,
