Albert Hofmann, the Swiss scientist who invented the LSD and became the first person in the world to experience a full-blown acid trip, has died. He was 102.

My mom loves to boast that my favorite tee-shirt, as a child, declared BORN TO BOOGIE. And born to boogie, I was. I am a disco dancing queen, hip grinding fiend, body rocking machine. Dance is my therapy. The dance floor is my scene. I dance, on the subway, pole in hand, ipod glued to my ears. I dance, prancing down NYC sidewalks, through crowds of clueless tourists. I dance in my sleep.

I celebrate Dance everyday.

One of the goals of International Dance Day is to increase the awareness of the importance of dance among the general public, as well as to persuade governments all over the world to provide a proper place for dance in all systems of education.

Get to it, y’all. Get your dance on, yo.

$pread It, Spin It, Spread the word….
