After having gotten most of my performing experience busking on the street (where I could always move about very freely), I always find it a bit restricting at the occasional indoor gig to stay still enough to keep my mouth aligned with one microphone and my guitar with another. I still always manage to keep *some* body part moving, I think!

In more recent years, I've had a few opportunities to front bands as a straight vocalist, no instrument. I've never developed any calculated/choreographed "moves," but have no problem grabbing the mic and/or mic-stand to allow myself freedom of movement.

As an audience member, I don't hesitate to bop up and down, nod head, tap foot, etc., but I'm actually somewhat inhibited about actually dancing. Unlike normally socialized humans who behave as expected on a dance floor, I'm actually less hesitant to sing along from the midst of a crowd than I am to dance. I try not to be so rude as to drown out the performer(s), but when in the presence of loud amplified music (and when suitably stimulated), I'll eventually start to harmonize, take the backup-vocal part, or sing the lead, just as loud as my unamplified radiation-scarred throat will allow -- moving all the while, of course. I figure the folks on the stage have amps and I don't, so there's no danger of truly interfering with anything.

Hey -- when the Lord gits ready, you GOT to move!
