Only an hour ago I saw this on CNN, and now I'm running into it on Discover Seattle. Yes, it's funny and cute, but the results are marvelous. In the last one year since the inmates began dancing, there have been no breakouts of fighting among inmates.
Many exotic traditions of therapy should be investigated to see if they have beneficial effects. In India, they get together in public parks and just laugh out loud for the sake of it. The ancient Zoroastrian Persians developed equestrian therapy, which seems to have psychotherapeutic benefits. In China they do tai chi exercises in public parks.
Way back in 1988, I proposed the concept of "socio-therapy", bringing large numbers of people together for group activities or discussions in ways that would have healing and improving effects on the general good. I don't care how kooky it sounds or looks to anyone. If it does no-one else harm, and benefits some, go for it!
