Do not cerebrate for too long on why people are dancing in the street or concern yourself too much regarding safety issues; El DeBarge assures us all that the ‘Rhythm Of The Night’ is both enough reason and assured protection. Also, there is no monocracy powerful enough to prevent street dancing, as Ren MacCormack proved, so one should feel free to step into the lines with loose feet. In fact, when vehicles turn duff and replacement transportation is being considered, leather-soled shoes and a spiffy ensemble should be considered the top option–for both economical and physiological reasons. Martha and her Vandella friends argue that the summer months may be the best times for ‘Dancing In The Street’, but any time of year should suffice, even if one must first clear away some leaves or ice. Remember, though, regardless of when one roams onto the road, that we are not here to engage in logomachy regarding whether street dancing could be more than its literal sense–an inciting of protest or social movement perhaps; we are here to move our feet–in the street–to a beat–under heat?–with those we meet–and think are neat. ; )
