The Spirit of dance Music

The Spirit of dance Music

=the spirit of dance music =

Although one could only look at the technical aspects of the music it would probably missing the point altogether. Dance is where the music went after Rock went mostly awry.Dance is technically the result of crossing disco and kraftwerk-type beats but what is the Spirit behind it.

It is sexual and spiritual in nature; hedonistic in its expression, a celebration of the body and its movement. Dance in many ways could be said to be tantric as it wants to relink the dancer to The Source. Think of tracks like I've got the power and Candi Statton and the Source .

Dance music is ecstatic and kundalini-driven. It is the stuff of the life force itself. It is almost always uplifting and although often chemically-fuelled it does not have to be.

One could look at shamanic dance traditions around the world and find similar ecstatic pursuits. Amazonian Indian Ayahuasca ceremonies are similar in many ways. The same can be found on the Tibetan and Siberian plateaux; ecstatic dance with a driven beat behind it.

To summarize one could say that dance music is a late 20th century urban shamanic attempt to relink man/woman to the Source; the Origin.
