1 By The Power Of Dance

2 "Don't wake me for the end of the world unless it has very good special effects."- Roger Zelazny About a couple of 1000 years ago, the Mayans predicted that the world would come to an end. And so they began this human obsession with our eventual, global demise. Every religion has it's own beliefs about the exact date/ cause about the end of the world, of course. Astronomers believe that the world will end some million years in the future when the sun bursts and wipes out the little planet we call home. Science believes the world will end with global warming. And Nihilism believes that the world, essentially, doesn't exist, or if it does, it doesn't really have much worth which is basically as good as the world not existing. How can something that doesn't exist, come to an end, yeah? (Existential questions, yo).

3 And we've done everything to prepare ourselves for this. Or at least we make it a point to watch every apocalyptic movie ever released (Hello, Will Smith), and read every apocalyptic novel ever written. We really can't do much more, can we? I mean, I guess we could go around fixing our karma, having basements to get into, and stocking up with food. But ain't nobody got time for that. It's a funny thing though, practically everyone who actually thinks about survival during an apocalypse thinks of it in terms of technology and food and water, and other useless things. OK. OK. Maybe technology is actually pretty important. And our phones. But not one person thinks of it in terms of having fun. I mean, has it ever struck anyone that maybe the homo sapiens survived into us just by having fun? I think it's perfectly possible. In fact, as I type this out, I'm actually imagining a homo sapien jumping around in joy, maybe even wiggling his hips a bit. Otherwise known as dancing. Yes, our primitive ancestors, maybe, just maybe, survived whatever the hell it was that killed every other race of humanity by the miracle of a perfect thumka.

4 Think about it. Let's get local. Right here, in India, we have a dance for every mood There's the tandav, the apocalyptic, angry dance, and then we have happy, calm dances that tell us the story of creation. Dance has always been there for man, since time immemorial. Waaaaay earlier than our smart phones have been there us at least. And it just seems to get the human race.dance for every mood
