# The "Lost Dancing" > Dance to achieve flow and freak everyone out. **Published by:** [The Through—Line](https://paragraph.com/@thethroughline/) **Published on:** 2023-02-06 **URL:** https://paragraph.com/@thethroughline/the-lost-dancing ## Content Why does dancing happen more frequently within a given age range and/or a given physical space? I just went outside, to the balcony of my hotel room. Watching the construction workers continue erecting this building that will entertain & comfort another generation of our species. As I watch them work, and of course, listening to Fred again, his London, April 2021 is just absolutely everything. I began to jump. Dance. At first I wanted to see if they took notice. They didn’t. I even waved and looked directly at one and he kept walking as if he didn’t see me. Was I being embarrassing? Weird? Whatever. I continued to dance, the deeper Fred got, the more my body tired and danced. When I turned around I had a small audience of 3 people. I’ll take it, that’s 300X growth in a 5-minute window. That’s good growth just from dancing. I think I can scale this. “I am the party, only I am the party I don’t want to be” this part of his set. God damn! Yeah, so why does dancing stop? Anywhere? Oh, it’s probably dangerous around “heavy machinery”. I get it now. Dummy. Back to work. The mission was it? ## Publication Information - [The Through—Line](https://paragraph.com/@thethroughline/): Publication homepage - [All Posts](https://paragraph.com/@thethroughline/): More posts from this publication - [RSS Feed](https://api.paragraph.com/blogs/rss/@thethroughline): Subscribe to updates - [Twitter](https://twitter.com/lesgreys): Follow on Twitter - [Farcaster](https://farcaster.xyz/les): Follow on Farcaster ## Optional - [Collect as NFT](https://paragraph.com/@thethroughline/the-lost-dancing): Support the author by collecting this post - [View Collectors](https://paragraph.com/@thethroughline/the-lost-dancing/collectors): See who has collected this post
