I saw this group of young men dancing in Charleston and had to watch for a while. They threw themselves down with what appeared to be reckless abandon; there was nothing that looked careful about their dancing. It was beautifully choreographed, if not in its entirety, certainly in the types of moves they made. I loved their joy, their boldness, their sense of timing and fun. But most of all, I loved how they cheered each other on, even though they were clearly trying to outdo the other. Bravo. Bravo!
Breakdancing. Very popular in the 80s and 90s and still going strong during summer in the city. Combination of acrobatics, gymnastics and unique dance moves. Usually the domain of extremely flexible young people.
Thank you for sharing this moment of people taking sheer joy in their bodies and moving them. Your delight in it reminds me to leave the computer, get out and enjoy pure ordinary life this weekend.

How fun! I’m sure they made it look effortless, but that it was done with extra care.
