Old Thursday, Jun 7th 2007, 08:48 AM #1 NYTimes OP-ED Dance, Dance, Revolution
This past Sunday's NY Times OP-ED section contained a poignant essay about the historical and collective community building act of dancing. Written by Barbara Ehrenreich -the author, most recently, of “Dancing in the Streets: A History of Collective Joy” writes, "Without dance, we risk loneliness and anomie. Dancing to music is not only mood-lifting and community-building; it’s also a uniquely human capability."

For those without dance, there's always Rhythmism.com to thwart your loneliness and anomie. We built this community based on clubbing and dance music, so let's not forget what brought us all together in the first place - Let's Dance!
