How Dance Can Unleash Your Inner Joy @TED #ted #shorts

Once you have the perspective that life is dance,

You'll begin to see dance everywhere around you, all day long, like I do.

When I choreograph for film, television and commercials,

I often generate moves that are based on the human experience.

I take these moves, I string them together,

twist and play with their pace,

in order to create more meaningful work.

Here's a music video, "Chandelier," that I choreographed for Sia,

featuring the incredible dancer Maddie Ziegler.

And fork, fork, fork, stab it in the wall,

toss it and pass out, come to and look;

Charlie Chaplin, Charlie Chaplin, cockroach up the wall,

clean your mustache,

a possum, sink ...

Is it time for lunch yet?

I'd love to invite you to be your own choreographer.

Let fun and laughter push the boundaries of ridiculousness.

Who knows?

Maybe brushing your teeth or whisking up mac and cheese

will become your new favorite dance move.
