for mobilizing a group of muscles. That concept is
used by the brain
to cause actual hunks of meat to contract certain
amounts at certain
rates. When you are dancing, your brain is
coordinating all kinds of
sensory input and outputs to move the muscles that
move the bones to make
your actual flesh move around the dance space. The
body is the
brain's meat puppet is one way to think of it.

Yup! it's all a head trip alright. All the trouble
(read "movement", "seduction", etc.) starts in that
pesky ole' cerebellum. The body just follows suit.
Nicely put, Jonathan. Teehee! :)
