I'm way too aloof and cool for that! Do I look like I’ve ever danced the sardanas? I’m way too aloof and cool for that!

I'm really conflicted about this one. On one hand, I do like the music. I don't find it long, nor do I mind its repetitiveness; but then, I'm a sucker for ambient and minimalism. :-) I really like how they get together and dance, and how most of them seem to really know the steps: there's a graciousness to it all. On the other hand, I'm really bewildered by my inability to find any relationship whatsoever between the rhythm of the music and the one of the dance. How can they dance in such sync, when they seem to disregard the music, except as a clue to switch from light steps to jumping and back from time to time? I just don't get it, but nonetheless find it all beautiful in a puzzling kind of way. :-) Wow. I’m really conflicted about this one.

I wonder if there's ever been a theft from the heap. I can imagine the all-purpose, multi-talented pickpocket Kharem, with his new con-man style, dancing a moment, then scooping up someone else's items covered by his jacket.
