It started with a spark, a vision of pure spontaneous joy, boundless in its mired expressions, bursting forth from humanity. I've observed it across years in my friends, loved ones, even strangers. We all have a happy dance. Usually several for different occasions or circumstances. Most of us are completely unaware of our own happy dance. A happy dance is a completely spontaneous, physical expression of joyousness or satisfaction, that cannot be duplicated, contrived, or recreated. It is an authentic spark of spirit, of passion, of life form in in purest unbridled essence, escaping our usually rigid mannerisms, and controlled expressions.
For years I've said I want to study happy dances, and the hows and why of what makes them what they are. So here begins the journey of this task. a Journey that has started with more questions to be answered before lift off then I bargained on. So here we begin, to explain, define, and expound on the ideas behind and woven through happy dance, one at a time. These definitions and explanations come from conversations, reading, and popular culture as well as my own observation, education and theory. I will always attempt to give full credit where it is due to the ideas herein, and most especially with direct quotes.
