dance and drill

Engaging in community dance and/or military drill by moving rhythmically together for long periods of time is a very effective way of arousing excited, shared, and friendly feelings among the participants. This effect is reinforced by music and voicing, all the way from band music and choral singing to drill sergeants' shouts of “Hut, Hip, Hip, Four.” Somehow moving muscles together in time, with voices backing up the rhythmic beat, makes people feel good, wipes out old grudges, and smoothes over personal rivalries.
