Strange dancing.

My body is stoutly built, and my legs are not that long. Therefore, I am not a good one for dancing in the style of ballet.
However, I quite like watching other people dance. Once I went to see Jo Kanamori dance. It was a wonderful performance.

Jo Kanamori leads the dance company Noism. I went to see a Noism performance in their host town of Niigata. I was so inspired by their dancing, that when I returned to my hotel room I began strange dancing.

I tried to imitate what I have seen, but of course my bodily movements fell short. In addition, my dance might have been less of a comic performance compared to the immortal silly walk. Conclusion: Mine was a physical activity without any meaningful purpose.

Undaunted, I keep doing the strange dancing from time to time. Nothing to show. Nobody to see. Just me and the air around me which receives the strange vibe.

I love dancing,too!
Movement might be one of a way to express of feeling, occasionally beyond the language,without
frontier.
Dance for talking oneself is pretty thing. ^-^
I hope to see Noism's performance someday.

Dear:Mr.Mogi
I think people have something own rhythm, for example dancing , walking,running, talking ... naturally.
I like your rhythm, because,it is very different from me. I long to doing something like you.
Of course I can't to doing like you.
But I like your dancing. I feel something special.

Your confession has made me decide that you are my soul mate,
Mogi sensei!

I also enjoy strange dancing in my own way from time to time. It is so relaxing, feel like almost meditating, knowing that nobody is watching me!
