In 1964, it was safe to dance in the street. And Martha and the Vandellas were leading the dance in Detroit with their signature single.
In 2014, the cops knock you down for dancing in New York City. You dancing? What the fuck is the matter with you?
I call Philly the Land of a Thousand Dances. I wonder if it is still safe to dance in the street in my city.
Planning a trip the the Big Apple to celebrate Christmas anytime soon? Do not bring your dancing shoes or your sense of humor. Laughing and dancing get you beat up in New York City.

The Dancing Man is the name given to the man who was filmed dancing on the street in Sydney, Australia, after the end of World War II. On 15 August 1945, a reporter took note of a man's joyful expression and dance and asked him to do it again. The man consented and was caught on motion picture film in an Australian edition of the newsreel Movietone News. The film and stills from it have taken on iconic status in Australian history and culture, and symbolise victory in the war.
