What Dance Means to Me - by Madonna

“I’m a dancer. I know what it’s like to watch things and get bored very easily. That’s why I want to combine dancing, y’know, just like on ‘Solid Gold’. Everybody watches that. They listen to the music and they watch people dance. That’s what they enjoy. I wanted to combine that with the old Motown stuff where there are dancers in the back doing all those hand movements and singing background vocals with much more concentration on dance. I wanted to work out a scenario to each song. That’s what I’m doing right now. I’m building up my repertoire. I’m singing live to taped music and using dancers. There’s no live band accompanying me. Maybe if I played to some hardcore AC/DC fans they probably wouldn’t be into it, but so far everyone’s really liked it.

Dancing is sexually provocative. It’s moving to music only you’re by yourself. It’s masturbatory. You’re just moving your body to music. It’s like sex. It feels that good to me. I think it feels that good to other people as well. Nowadays people don’t dance with each other, they just DANCE!! It’s like getting into yourself, moving your body all around and stuff. When you’re on the dance floor you can feel the bass and the percussion. It’s very primitive and sexual. It’s a wonderful way to express yourself. Am I beating around the bush? No? I mean, it’s hard to be really precise about these matters (giggle). Dance and music and sex – they’re all the same thing. It comes from your soul ultimately. To express yourself deep down inside is important. If you didn’t you’d be just like a dead person.”
