I like a spirituality with a God that knows how to drive a car, that knows how to take his girl to the dance club, dance all night, have a little drink, kiss the kid when they come back in and go to sleep. God doesn't need a chauffeur - he needs to drive himself.

Louise Erdrich

Never did form more fairy thread the dance Than she who scours the hills to find it flowers; Never did sweeter lips chained ears entrance Than hers that move, true to its striking hours; No hands so white e'er decked the warrior's lance, As those which tend its lamp as darkness lours; And never since dear Christ expired for man, Had holy shrine so fair a sacristan.

Basic dance - and I should qualify the word basic - is primarily concerned with motion. So immediately you will say but the basketball player is concerned with motion. That is so-but he is not concerned with it primarily. His action is a means towards an end beyond motion. In basic dance the motion is its own end-that is, it is concerned with nothing beyond itself.
