Dance Cocky

Howard Jacobson on summer music festivals, authoritarianism and a dancing cockatoo.

From boyhood, through young adulthood, to the present day, Howard Jacobson ponders his relationship with dancing.

As summer festivals get underway across the UK, Howard tries to understand the attraction.

'I didn鈥檛 dance to Paul McCartney in the 60s, and I鈥檓 not going to start now... dancing isn鈥檛 what I do,' he says.
