Manynnon-human animals, even, can dance. And it’s not just animals thatnhave been carefully trained, either. Scientists have determined that bonobos, seanlions, cockatoos, and other animals can make motion in synch with anbeat—and without any training to do so, they will adjust theirnmotions to keep up with the beat if the beat gets faster or slower!

nApriln29 has been International Dance Day ever since 1982, when thenInternational Dance Council announced the new holiday. I have anfeeling that the holiday’s creators would be pleased with thenpopularity of dancing and of dance shows, these days, especially “SonYou Think You Can Dance” and “Dancing With the Stars.”
