i wasn't talking about 'mind dance' at all though that's an interesting
(if completely irrelevant to actual reality) concept.
certain minimal forms of dancing, such as butoh, allow some extremely
subtle movements which do not require any sort of steps or immediately
perception of movement. which is what my comments on 'not needing to
leave your chair in order to dance' reffered to: you could make tiny,
barely perceptible circles with your finger to the sound of abstract
music & call it dance. in fact, you may not even need any sort of
music. that's the beauty of it.
but i disgress & who cares.
