When I was hunting the Internet for Creative Commons music (which I do on a regular basis), I came across a GORGEOUS piece of music. It was in fast 3/4 time (my favourite), with acoustic guitars (my favourite), and it made me want to dance immediately (my favourite).
Slight problem: it was FORTY ONE FREAKING SECONDS LONG. And, try as I could, I couldn’t find a longer version.
I understand this…creative commons musicians make themes for use in games and movies, and they don’t need to be very long. But I LOVED this theme, and I wanted to dance to it. I couldn’t make a dance video with just 41 seconds of music…could I?
Could I?
…I could.
…sort of.
Here is A Tiny Dance, featuring my favouritest-tiny-piece-of-music-EVER (twice over since I liked both takes and since the music is SO FREAKING SHORT), and in which I only dance with my hands. Just because.
Enjoy!
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!!!!! I wanna do a hand dance! totally! so so so beautiful.
Thank you! You should do one! It’s so fun!
This reminds me of starting a Flowing portion of a 5Rhythms class and the instructor guides us to dance only with our hands. It is a reminder that dance is in every fiber and muscle of our being, not just our torso and legs!
I would LOVE that. Hand dancing is one of my favourites.
