I like the idea of chasing away fear with dance, in this case, the bird flu dance.
I haven't seen the dance, of course, but the story reminds me of a few musical/social change heros who protest through art. They can be angry, not too moralizing, and enjoy themselves immensely. I admire that!
I have read that even the police used to love Fela Kuti's diatribe against the police and military in Nigeria, Zombie.
Zombie no go go, unless you tell [him] to go
Zombie no go stop, unless you tell [him] to stop
Zombie no go turn, unless you tell [him] to turn
Zombie no go think, unless you tell [him] to think
...
No brains, no job, no sense
