Music: Some of This 'n' Some of That - Joe Williams

"Don't be afraid to let go, and let dance. Dancing is a very spiritual thing. There are a lot of churches that are against it. There are a lot of families that are against it. There are a lot of countries that are against it. When you read the bible, you will find, "when the ark of the covenant was moved by the higher power, there was dancers in front of it". I did not say they were swing dancing. But they were dancing. Dancing, they'd be less stress, less strain, less war if more people danced. Go home and tell your politician that if he learns how to dance you'll vote for him! There's something so wonderful about dancing.
You don't have to do this [drugs] to get high. You don't have to do this [drink] to get high. Just dance. That's what is happening people, or you would not be here.
Everybody out here has a dancer in you. That's why you are here. I want to help you find your dancer in you. I watch you. I watch you do your dance steps. If I see you doing something good I'm stealing it! That's how those dance steps were created.
Ladies, I want to talk to you. I want to tell you you've got to learn how to lead. The men have had it for years. Gentlemen, you have got to learn how to follow. Then you know how she feels when you got her doing like this!
Don't be afraid to let go, and let dance. You just can't know how blessed you are to be here.
I want you to go to class, learn as much as they can teach you, come out of class, do it like this, put that shit out of the window and dance. Because that's what this is about, dancing. I want you to feel the music. Let the music move you." Dawn Hampton, July 2012
