I loved this song growing up, I still love the song, I guess now the words makes more sense now. When I was growing up, we needed to win dancing competitions so we danced to the beats and the words didnt mean anything at that time.

The song made people happy, you hear the beat and everybody either move their shoulders or sway their hips to the song, it was a hit back to back. I cannot forget my green dress in a hurry, I danced as a child, I wish I danced more as an adult.

Okay today is not about Shina Peters but the therapy of Dancing…. sometimes I cannot sleep (insomnia) mostly when I have to deliver something, or I have alot on my mind or I have an idea brewing in my head or I am thinking about something and the list goes on and on. I wake up at 1am or 2am and I start to count sheep or stare at the ceiling or start to daydream, or I start to listen to sad songs that will eventually make me cry to sleep only to be rudely awakened by my intrusive Alarm..

I remembered a conversation I had with Yemisi Ugoh (the wife of the resident pastor of Kings Assembly) she used to dance every morning, and then I remembered also watching TY Bello’s King woman by Kemi Adetiba, she talked about dancing and how she made every one who came for a photography shoot dance. I made up my mind that whenever my insomnia wakes me up again, I will dance, and true to my words, 2am on sunday morning, My eyes were wide open, I decided to put my theory to use, and while dancing, I would also do some cleaning. Needless to say, I had a one man party, had my beats by Dre  headphones (got for me by Jigga), the long and short of the story is that my neighbour from downstairs, banged at my door around 5am to beg me that he needed to sleep>>>hahhahahha..

I felt better, energised, uplifted and light…. I should have channeled my inner Shina peters all those times when I layed awake begging sleep to come. I will be doing this again and again so I will try to keep it down so my partying neighbour can have some sleep…hahahahhaah

Sometimes, we all need the dance therapy to get stuff off our chest, be feather light and just channel your inner Shina Peter’s groove all by yourself and dance dance dance away your sorrows…..

Yours sincerely
