I love it too of course. You can find more of his Danceruns online at his site, I think it's foofwa.com - they became more elaborate and often used harlequin themes - dancing through cities, one in which he went into the river, and so forth. Some of it was covered on tv, and at times he had large crowds dancing with him for part of it, rather like William Kemp, who in 1600 danced the Morris from London to Norwich and wrote about it in "Kemps Nine Daies Wonder. Performed in a Daunnce from London to Norwich."

The world is both weirdly strange and strangely weird!

I remember watching this in disbelief all those years ago. Wonderful, crazy stuff! Especially when he starts jumping into the air. And I love the way the camera keeps swooping round the track after he's slowed to a walk.

 Dance / run

 Roughly converted into lower ascii.

 This was one of the earliest Dance Runs by Foofwa;
 I love the focus, intensity, dance, and my music
 works well, I think. I watch this from time to time,
 beautiful and oddly calming, and all my thanks and
 more to Foofwa -
