DANCE!



I'm a little late in finding this video...
Matt Harding's video is an internet/youtube phenonmenon, and I think it really hits a universal chord. Why dance? Because you wanna and it makes you feel good! I really love Harding's spirit in his jig and hope you all enjoy the video!

Click here to read the New York Times article about the video.

Health Tip: A study published in 2003 in the New England Journal of Medicine reports a lower risk for dementia among people over 75 who regularly danced during leisure time. The report also surprisingly mentions that other types of physical exercise didn’t affect dementia risk — dancing was the only physical activity that made a difference!

This Is Dance (and Techno Julie Andrews)

That's what it's all about. At times, it's serious and graceful and solemnly beautiful, but at other times it's just pure, carefree joy! Dance is glorious and wonderful and human. You need ladies and gentlemen and children of all ages to g-g-get on up and DANCE. Plus, all 200 dancers are incredibly synchronized. Oh, AADT, if only you would learn ...



P.S. I'm dropping out of Harvard and moving to Belgium. Just thought I'd let you know.
P.P.S. Wait for it - watch the entire thing. It's worth all 4 minutes and 1 second of it.
