"In my story, there is this fellow Dog Star who is from the Cannus Major constellation (also known as Sirius or the Dog Star). He is the one whose ambition is to send energy waves to unlock and cultivate radiations of love to all of us. He is the reason why there's a new consciousness that is starting to pervade across the planet that love will conquer all. When Dog Star and his entourage of sensuous dancers hit the party, the whole party breaks out in this amazing dance and really gets things going. Get your groove on, new shiny shoes on."
