I don't know how I would describe myself.
I'm the guy who lives to pluck the strings of your soul to have you move to my rhythms.
In short, another damn guitar player.
Beatiful post, as usual.

I've been seen dancing
with dinasours in front of the toy store in the mall, as well as twirling or tripping the light fandango to music in public places. It draws stares, but it also draws smiles. What else can you do when the music moves you.

That's it! It is a love affair....the music wraps around me, goes through me and I send it back out...with love. I do so love it, and I love people.....not just a lover....but everyone. Sometimes I am so filled with joy when I listen to music....and so filled with love.....I feel like I am going to explode.....and then I really want to just dance and whirl it out....stamp it out....kick it out....and I'm getting to old to have the energy it takes to do all that and I'm gonna kill myself one of these days!!! But I'll die happy if I do!!

We're leaking here and there,
but all of us are well and dry. Diversity always amazes me, I enjoy music. I enjoy dancing, but not the way in which you described it - kind of like a love affair.

My knees are the same! I've had my left scoped twice and the right one once - both had to be jackhammered and dynamited a lot!! The left one needs a replacement and I'm it's bone-on-bone right now, locks up when I sit and makes this really cool pop and jerk thing that turns peoples' stomachs! I just need to find the 3mo to devote to the surgery and rehab before I wait too long and my thigh goes shootin' down next to my calf.... gross!!!!!!

That's some relationship you share with music and dance.

Krisles,
Great story. I started dance lessons when I was 3 and all the way up til I was about 17. I wanted to be a dancer, too. But, my knees were shot from gymnastics and the dancing. I still have such bad knees and now I can't even kneel or squat. I miss dancing a lot.

I was glad to see you liked to dance, too. I think sensualists just like it all....can't really separate any of it out....the music, the dancing, the scent of the books.....for you the feel of the ocean, for me the feel of my lake....the tastes........I think life must be so dull for those not really open to all these things...but, maybe not...

Yes, Casa Manana....thank you! I will fix the post right now! I can remember going there when I was a kid and it was still newish. Yes, it is the passion in us that makes the music do that to us. When I do get into it with a man, the feedback just feeds the passion and it becomes this incredible cycle...whoa!!

Yes, I've felt we are kindred spirits on more than one occasion....we could definitely stop some shoppers if we went out and about....but wouldn't it be so much more fun in the moonlight!!! Thanks for reading.

."...was turning my body over to music"
Kris
isn't it incredible? You are a kindred spirit:-) My husband teases me all the time cause I dance down the aisles in the grocery store picking things off the shelves, i'm not even aware if folks are watching, and i really don't care....i hear the music and it moves my feet and on up thru my entire body and sets me free. I'm the most self conscious person except for dancing....like i said in my last post, taking off my clothes and dancing naked for you isn't a problem:-) i know I'm a strange one!

Are you thinking of Casa Manana?
That's a theater in the round in Ft. Worth.
This is a great post. You describe dancing so seductively. I feel that way about music and rythym too. I can't stand still when the music is flowing, even in church.
Like you though, I'm scared to turn myself over to it. It would seem too much like we would be showing too much of ourselves....it's too personal, like you said.
If I'm having sex with someone I really like/enjoy, I do it then. I turn myself over completely to the experience, but that's about the only time.

great post.... i know we have talked before about heightened senses..... i think that seeing/feeling the sensuality in music goes with that. i completely understand.....sex is just sex.... sometimes we are lucky enough to be completely consumed in the emotional intensity of it along with the physical intensities.... that's amazing, but sex isn't always like that.
music is.

I'm sure it does! Have you been over to dance with me in my R&S? or visited my other blogs lately....I've missed you and I think all of them have something to offer you might like...well, one might be a little too heavy for you but the others should be fun! Thanks for reading.

I am not a dancer like you.
But I do have a lot of rythm in my actions. Does that qualify?
