I have this with a non-soulie mate and I told her, what you like to dance to is a personal thing in my opinion, if I like the record, Im so into it there is no-one else on the dancefloor!! It's how we show our appreciation of great tunes. Its a great tribute to the artist.
Only works in the soul world though!! I went to a fancy dress party the other night and found it really weird that people kept pulling me up to dance. I felt like saying "will you please get away from me"
