Last summer on Sunday night I would stand up in the living
room and dance around singing. On various nights I was moving and vocalizing
like a Lady Gaga, Tina Turner or Kate Perry wanna be. I was pulled into the energy
of the kids performances on a TV show. Isopraxism at work. All this to the amusement
of everyone around including Bo the wonder dog who thinks my singing is
mesmerizing and who is always willing to dance with me. After all his name is
Bojangels Robinson.
Why was I singing and dancing so jubilantly? Because Sunday
night the Glee Project was on. It’s a reality show with real teenagers
trying out for a spot on the TV show Glee. It was a positive show. One with
truly talented singers. If you haven’t seen it there are clips on the internet.
My favorite was a sweet rendition of Blackbird in a final competition. Check
the link in my next post for the flash mob dance to promote the next season of
Glee that shows Isopraxism, the pull towards the same energy. For more on
