It's not spirit,it's energy :lol:

And believe me too when I say to you that I prefer to see old people dancing and moving all they can instead of staying the euh butt in an armchair.

When I look at the first pictures in the video, we can see that those people live in a great misery and certainly don't have internet nor much of an educaton or anything to please themselves where they live.

So, a Saturday night, even if it's on a Sunday morning, is still better than nothing (in my opinion).

To start with, if you have difficulties to coordinate, you can try the spinning dance :)

It's easy to do but you need a lot of room to do it because when one is not trained to or is trained but has done it for quite a long time, one can feel deezy very quickly (as shown in the video).

(Probably something to do with the internal ear and the brain, if you want some kind of scientific explanation.)

Actually, I attribute it more to me having Asperger's. Our kind tend to be lacking in physical coordination, which may explain why there are more Aspies involved in the arts and sciences than in sports.

Now that is a connection I had not made. Certainly for me true - you should have heard the laughter from people tried to teach me to dance. As for spinning - NO thanks. I have not voluntarily gotten vertiginous since bout 10, though Number 1 Son still spins on occasion. Not jojning the dervishes any time soon.

If I only had known I had Asperger's back in school - it would have explained why I was just so incapable of even kicking a ball or hitting even the broadside of a barn with a baseball bat. I thought I was just a nerd.

Ah, mon ami, surely not JUST a nerd.

See, there is an attitudinal difference.

I assumed that I hated and was lousy at required square dancing because it was stupid.

I assumed that I had too little eye-hand coordination for baseball and not enough speed for soccer because I was too smart to operate at a physical level.

I assumed that I was NOT going to do the rope-climb because - well, I was too heavy and too weak in the arms and THAT was stupid.

But - it would have been VERY good to have the clue that tied those and social things and the crazy lady together. But in my day Asperger's was far from a known thing.
