Dance Like

I am amused and perplexed by people who like to dance. I am not one of those people. And I think it’s presumptive of those who are dancy to think that everyone else must be.

My main example of this is the saying “Dance like no one is watching.” I’ve seen it on T shirts and on internet motivational posters. They assume that everyone secretly likes to dance and is held back by the fear of what people will think.

I don’t dance, whether I am by myself or in public. See me standing still? – that is how I dance when no one is watching.

and say, “We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.”

Matthew 11:17
