To go around in circles is senseless, aimless, anyone who
pirouettes has a self-satisfied, ridiculously vain, vulgar nature. The dance is a female
motion, and indeed is above all the movement of prostitution. One will find that the more a
woman likes to dance, and the better she dances, the more of the prostitute she has in her.
Moreover, this is connected to the character of the Bavarian-Austrian tribe, particularly
the Viennese. Their great inclination to dance-music is not an isolated trait, but is deeply
grounded in their being. Circular motion takes up freedom and subordinates it to
lawfulness; repetition of the same thing either looks ridiculous or feels uncomfortable
(Robinson Crusoe). In ethics, the character of the Viennese is fatalistic (“Never mind, can't
do anything about that.”); fatalism translated to the intellectual is indifferentism; that is why
the Viennese is apathetic, easy going. The waltz is the absolutely fatalistic music;

>Jazz is undeniably an aspect οf the resurfacing οf the elemental in the modern world, bringing the bourgeois epoch to its dissolution. Naturally, the young men and women who like to dance to jazz today do so simply "for fun" and are not concerned with this; yet the change exists, its reality unprejudiced by its lack οf recognition
>Ιn fact, it is known that African music, the origin οf the principal rhythms οf modern dances, has been one οf the major techniques used to open people up to ecstasy and possession. Both Alfons Dauer and Ortiz have rightly seen the characteristic of this music as its polyrhythmic structure, developed in such a way that the static [on-beat] accents that mark the rhythm constantly act as ecstatic [off-beat] accents; hence the special rhythmic figures that generate a tension intended to "feed an uninterrupted ecstasy." The same structure has been preserved in all so-called syncopated jazz. These syncopations are like delays that tend to liberate energy or generate an impulse
>This ecstatic potential still exists in jazz. But even here there is a process of dissociation, of abstract development of rhythmic forms separated from the whole to which they originally belonged. Thus, given the desacralization of the environment and the nonexistence of any institutional framework or corresponding ritual tradition, any suitable atmosphere or appropriate attitude, one cannot expect the specific effects of authentic African music with its evocative function; the effect always remains a diffuse and formless possession, primitive and collective in character.

a lot of dancing is pretty boring, but if you cannot appreciate the beauty of bodily expression and fine tuned coordination/articulation you must be a misanthrope or something.
