You know, I've always wondered this myself. I don't dance at all. I nod and twitch a little, but electronic music... techno, for me is more of an emotional high than a physical one. I always wondered just how many people on the list sweat and ooze while bouncing to their favorite tunes? The only time I ever really danced was at the Orbital show at the Forum in London, England back in the fall of 1994. But anyone who has seen Orbital live knows of its tremendous power. Mind you, I saw them again in Toronto a couple months back, and reverted to spastic limb twitching. That's the extent of my craft. Do you really think that people who don't dance don't appreciate the music? I think that's a profoundly absurd question. It does however raise an interesting issue.
