Subject: RE: BS: If Only English Folk Dancing was....
Sure sensual and erotic/passionate dance is lovely, same as love poems can be nice and bawdy songs are fun and nude painting can be delightful.. but sexuality is only *one* aspect of a vast array of human experience. It'd be a pretty dull old world if we were only afforded such a restricted single form of emotional expression in any given art form. What of frivolity, grace, joy, sorrow, fury, mischief, mystery etc. etc? all these emotions have their rightful place in any form of creative human expression, including dance. Plus those abused young girls dancing English folk dance that Em posted up, describes perfectly the need we have for specifically *non-sexualised* forms of communual creative physical expression.
