Dance Fervor

Except that several people continued to hang around. Such as Aaron and Yvonne, a pair of twentysomethings who were holding each other tightly on the dance floor. Part of their public display of affection was due to their recent engagement, but another part was clearly due to TCM. Yvonne, a rave clubgoer for five years, had finally found what she was looking for: a place to dance and find transcendence without all the drugs of many contemporary raves. I asked them if they belong to any church. They both laughed through all the metal they had inserted into their faces and ears.

"This is our church," Yvonne said.
