Dancing Hippos is the name of my Blog Newsletter. If you are not on the mailing list, then write to DancingHipposNewsletter@gmail.com and we will put you on the mailing list. And if you do receive it already, then please share it with friends. A lot of people have told me it cheers them up at this difficult time of isolation, confinement and worry about viral infection. Dancing Hippos are not as elegant as Dancing Scotsmen, but they reflect my dancing and the happiness of my life in Africa.
Argyle weekend in Washington, DC November 9 - 11, 2018, Robin Poulton and friends danced 15 hours of Scottish and Contra in Alexandria and Glen Echo, MD. Robin explains how he keeps fit and healthy at the age of 70.
I Dance Therefore I Am
I Dance Therefore I Am is the title of Robin's popular book about dancing and about keeping fit: keeping physically fit, mentally fit, and emotionally fit. His book is funny, filled with dry British humor and amusing stories.
His book visits many types of dances: American contra, English country, African, Irish, German, French, Scandinavian, Flamenco, Salsa, Ballet, Waltzing, Hip Hop and Moonwalking, Morris, Medieval, Renaissance, and especially Scottish Country dancing, which is his great passion. We meet dozens of beautiful and talented women with whom he dances.

Dancing is part of his philosophy of life to produce the greatest happiness for the greatest number. His describes lot of interesting dances for his grandchildren to try, promoting laughter for healthy living, and a joy of beautiful live music, which is the spiritual essence of happy and healthy living.
