Stay-At-Home Dance Party Playlist
“Hard times require furious dancing. Each of us is proof.”
— Alice Walker
“Hard times require furious dancing.” This quote by author and activist Alice Walker speaks to the healing powers of dance. During these uncertain times of COVID-19, my family has been turning to dance more than ever. None of us have backgrounds in dance, and we don’t have particularly great moves, but none of that matters. Our living room is our stage. For my family, dance is a release. We get silly, funky, and we let our inhibitions go. Usually, it’s freestyle, where we all make up our own dance moves alongside each other. Other times, we will let one person make up a move, and then everyone else has to copy them. No matter what we do, we always feel better after.
I made a fun playlist of songs that my family likes to boogie to. You can listen to it on Spotify here.
I also have been loving Ryan Heffington’s Instagram Live dance sessions. They are so much fun!
