In this week’s column Arnold Jansen op de Haar reflects on the art of dancing:
'Dancing in public requires a bit of courage. It can be quite an amusing spectacle. Remember, for example, political correspondent John Sergeant on Strictly Come Dancing when it looked as if he lugged a sack of potatoes...

Why have so many months lapsed since I last blogged? I think Facebook is the culprit. Well, that and living life inspired, awake and alive. In other words, I've been doing a lot of traveling and going to a lot of concerts. Dancing takes time! But it's time well spent because it's impossible to be...

I was passing some time this afternoon, waiting for the hot Atlanta weather to cool some so I could head back out and finish my daily jog at the park, I had just made me a little pre-jog lunch of a grilled chicken and cheese quesadilla when I sat down on the couch, picked up the remote and began...

Right next to the organic mayonnaise, here on Aisle 3 in the beautiful, chi chi, zen-and-now ambience of Whole Foods, the beat is funky. I am boogie-ing to music written in the studios and nightclubs of Motor City, now the rust belt of the country, where suffering and pain reaches down into the...

Movies and books and sleeping, mostly sleeping, have been the shape of my days for a few days now, as happens infrequently when my back decides to go on a slide slip and leaves me with an acute awareness of how things work and don't work -- mostly don't work. I've been out of it for five days due...

What Happened to Butzville, New Jersey
There’s an ancient quandry on the edge of our town
Where they used to mine shocks and dismay
Now the youngsters go to the pit and climb down
To swim in the water and play.
We have an event called the big city haul
and each year when I was a kid,

PIROUETTES
I turn and spin; the world flashes as I go. I am erect, proud of my self-possession. I can stand the forces of vector rotation, public opinion and gravity. Sobriety has made a dancer out of me. I sprint the stage and take my place. I know the moves and trust, as...
