No, it's one of Gurdjieff's movements! While it looks silly to those determined to remain machines and dwell in sleep it makes perfect sense to those who study his ideas. The trembling dervish dancer moves by discordinate motion and so "unlearns" autonomic motion through this.  The more co-ordinated dancers are "working" by controlling their autonomic motion. All important elements of The Work by which we remake ourselves.

i believe that the mad dancer represents our wild and restless mind... that it in the end must bow down and relinquish control to something greater than itself. namely to spirit - which is at the center of all of us. represented by the calm man in the center...and only then it becomes quiet!

its not about master and students, but about our own inner struggle. we are slaves to our restless and disharmonious mind.

@somersetdelta i see... didnt know about the autonomic idea for the purpose of unlearning... makes sense.

@CT2507 beautiful music and movements of great beauty. every form of art is healing and freeing the spirit from self bound limitations. osho was so beautiful and dedicated his whole life to mystical research ! every purgated individual is perfection, a perfected piece of nature, therefore a part of nature. thank you for the video.

Its a shame the Teachers of this cult are not horse flogged for their misdirected scam. These poor people are lead down the path of being better than us sleeping slugs and are eager to work to better themselves as serfs to their masters. Like all cults, grab you sons and daughters and get them some serious psychological help. See forum.rickross.com for help.

Sorry all, it errored when I hit post.

It looks like this is the same dance as at the end of "Meetings with Remarkable Men". The dancers are looser in their moving control, which perhaps indicates a watering down of the energy. I have not particpated in the dances,in the movie, you can see there is more attention. The trembling figure is ourselves in daily life, the calm figure in the center likely represents the various levels of the steward leading to the Astral world of the self.

Some of the other great comments hit on this truth. Good Luck!

Inauthentic can be nice, even nicer. It's like a re-mix. Find it special .It's also symbolic You have to go to the center of you self to become balanced.

If you compare all the efforts to produce such a video - and then at least the rhythm of the music and the movements are not coordinated! And believe me, they should. In this case of whatever is called a movement, it is not... The remaining impression is not very deep!
