The ultimate essence of movement, of freedom, of rhythm, multiplicity... "Astro Black, in mystic time, astro natural, the universe speaks through this song, the universe is in my voice, Astro black, and Cosmos dark." Other than that, reggae (good stuff, like Delroy Wilson, Steel Pulse, not commercial disco crap like Third World) and spaced out double-triple-time jazz are also good for dancing. HPSCHD by John Cage and Lejaren Hiller, for harpsichords and random computer-generated sounds, gets my feet moving. I find the commercial disco SpyroGyra/Steely Dan type of generic musicoid sounds to be far more offensive and feet-deadening than even actual Muzak, which I'm sort of fond of...I tap my toes in the dentist's office.
