This Owl is of the mind it is quite possible in many realms!

Most prog can lend itself to some very interesting interpretive dance with out any problem.

There are a few Happy The Man tunes that a couple could waltz to, at least one Mr. Bungle could give way to manic swing dancing as examples in the partner/ballroom realm.

So what y'all think?

People are puzzled why I don't dig the Stones, well, I listened to the Stones, I tried, and I tried, and I tried, and--I Can't Get No Satisfaction!

 If ever drunk enough to even want to, I no longer would be able to!

I suppose the right drugs might do it, but my teens and 20s are long gone....

Ermm I dunno, ask that dancin' fool Jimmy Garten. He's the rug-cutting, twisting and frooging expert-texpert in these parts! (Ahem!)Wink

DANCING TO PROG??....NOT THE PROG I KNOW!!!..still back in the late 80's when the whole dance club thing took of (back when it was just called "house" or "acid house") i listened to a program on our local community radio station where they talked of the origins of the new craze.They pointed out the fact that the strong electronics emphasis of this music(which still exists) was influenced by the likes of TANGERINE DREAM!!(THEY EVEN PLAYED "PHEADRA" as an example!!!)(i still have the tape of the show somewhere!!!)

Lol, you know that's interesting. I never find myself dancing progressive music, maybe singing or moving my head along to flow of it. Prog involves too much emotion and dramaticness, it's hard to sometimes. I prefer to sit back and be amazed.

But the question is; Is or can Prog become dance music for the clubs?

The word dance does not exist in my vocabulary.   However, during the early seventies Hawkwind featured a nude female dancer as part of their live stage shows. If anyone out there has ever seen Grobschnitt live there`s quite a bit of dancing which took place as part of their stage shows which were quite elaborate. I saw them do Solar Music along as well as Rockpommel`s Land, lots of dancing . Can anybody imagine Bob Fripp getting down on the dance floor?

you can dance whatever moves your heart and of course your feet, this is a matter of character and behavior, that's all, if you like to dance: dance, if not, remain seated... and listen

peace

Just for fun, try to dance to Gentle Giant's Knots  and please take a picture or make a video

No, it's not possible I think...fortunately because I really HATE dancing

Yeah, with Jim Garten and a Pavarotti look-alike dominatrix writhing about the bile covered floor, playing grab-arse with a couple of blood frenzied attack-badgers as a Canadian English professor attempts to keep time with his palsied hands, but only manages to enrage a Celine Dion look-alike Caribou that vomits it's wallby darned on the accompanying underage Netherlander who snuck in pretending to be a hirsute English sheepdog. Meanwhile, a Australian Dingo farmer plies the local Billy-boys with watered down Fosters beer.   Glphrlrug.

Something has gone terribly amiss.... What thread is this? Yes, ma'am I'll have another.

 So true... I can dance to any kind of music. I just have to be in the mood for it. I suppose it looks very silly, but when you're in a pub with friends and alcohol, you don't care. Dancing, headbanging, or just tapping with your feet. It's FUN!

Totally sober, to boot!!!

I've got badger fencing all around my abode now. That'll keep the pesking vermin out. I'll have to find a new folical replacement method. Hmmm. Wombat?

I've also put out a few bars of anti-Englishman repellant, called Sodium Oxide Anglo Progenator (SOAP). Can't be too safe. I think Brits fake the accent to score with American chicks. Basds. You'd think the musky smell would drive 'em away.

I feel safer now.

PS: Don't tell Jim, eh?

AngryJim! Jim! Urgent! Request aid! Danbo's at it again! I'm calling for an airstrike from you! Angry

(Oh, where are you when we need you? Asleep early, I suppose.....)Wink

Come in, Rangoon! Calling Agent Garten! Click! Fissst! Hissss! Scraaawk! "Hillo, chaps! Pip pip, and all that jolly good stuff. I say there, I am reminded of the story of Churchill, and the time the Lady Parlimentarian said to him, in righteous indignation: "Sir Winston, you are drunk!" and Churchill replied, in his own inimitable fashion: "And you are ugly! But I shall be sober in the morning!"Wacko

Got any fags? Go for a pint? A few bevvies? Wha' say we get a few down ar necks at the Farmer and Goat?"Wink

(Wonder if he'll see this....)Ermm

Danbo - when will you ever learn that badger fencing is about as effective as a chocolate teapot; you should know that one air strike from the massed ranks of the British Suicide Pelicans, will reduce your dreams to so much rubble....... They are famous for their terrifying war cry of Mmnnff, Mmnnff, Mmnnff (well, you try screaming Tora Tora Tora with a beak full of dynamite!) and the musky smell of undigested fish which precedes all attacks - this could be the last thing you ever smell, so be warned.

Once the smoke clears, your cowering puny marines will be overwhelmed by 20,000 crazed badgers, all toting Uzis, and led by their awesome leader himself - YES! I Jim Garten, OBE, KBE, DFC & KFC, Prog-Lord, and Bearer Of The Royal Toilet Brush shall lead my troops personally into battle on my faithful war-donkey, Juliet - resplendent in diamante armour, peacock feathers, a Tupperware hat, and the severed heads of previous victims (my 2 pet mice, which stole into my underwear, never to return.....).

And as for you Peter, I was that one-legged lingerie model, and that was no accident (you should have had the rum tested, Petey boy.....).

I'm back,

I'm British, and

I'm still due that annual bath.........
