In a business course an instructor spent some time discussing "body language." He stressed that the way you move your hands, the way you sit, and your movements while you speak, can convey either a positive or negative message to your customer. Body language can be almost as important as the words you say. If so, bees have got it down to a fine art.

The "dance" or "body language" of the bees has a very specific purpose. With humans, however, dancing can convey any number of hidden or overt messages. One that comes to mind is the expression of joy. If you are really infected with joy, it is almost impossible to keep your body still. Imagine someone winning a ten million dollar lottery, and yawning as he says, "Oh, that's very nice." Most of us have seen winners on "Wheel of Fortune" dancing with excitement after winning twenty to thirty thousand dollars. It is quite natural to "dance" under such circumstances.

"There is also a "dance" that comes to us when we find spiritual fulfillment.
