  “Again, B. E. has created a masterpiece of historical research of dancing as a way to let off steam for centuries, to the condemnation of dancing, etc., to DEPRESSION in societies in the last centuries. And Now this community of joy is 'dancing' again, at sporting events. Maybe it's just called 'carnivalizing'?”
