man, you should hear the sound of my butt/thighs during a shimmy! Wanna start a a cappella drum solo troupe, Kimahri?

I have a group of middle aged students ranging 30-60 something. They point out all the time that your body will do all kinds of strange stuff that nobody told you about when you get older. Things to enjoy for dancers under 40:
-your hands still have a bit off fat to fill them up. When you get older, you get scrawny wrinkled hands.
-you can get dark spots on your hands/face that are hard to hide.
-fat will be stored in other places and will probably never ever go away. Your waistline will slowly disappear.

By then I put on a cheerful arabic popsong and get them all in motion for some freestyle dancing. They are absolutely fantastic in improvised dancing and most of them can put their body issues aside and put a lot of emotion in their dance.

I like dancers with a bit of soft, jiggly fat. It's the way nature designed women.
