Written to celebrate the joy of once again being able to dance with those we have lost to AIDS and other unexpected passings, "I Dance Because" is Karel's way of paying homage to those he once danced with and now continues to dance because of their memories.

Produced by Leo Frappier / House of Frappier and featuring backgrounds by Dance superstar Jeanie Tracy the song features remixes by Frappier, Dirty Disco, Matt Moss, DJ Rafael M and Robbie Carrigan and is available on all streaming platforms.

"It's a song rooted in the past, with a video very much about what's happening in the present in terms of technology...and I almost didn’t do it, the video...” Karel said. “When I wrote the song I wrote it for those that have passed, those I danced with in the 1980s, '90s, 2000s who are no longer here. And I always thought it would be cool to have footage of us dancing from back in the day, but we didn’t have camera phones everywhere then.”

Karel used new technologies to recreate the historic nightlife scenes.

"When I saw it, I cried, and it took my breath away," said Karel. "And I think it's a good use of AI, we aren’t creating something that never was, we really did dance together in the clubs, we’re just creating footage of a real event that we didn’t have. And that's an advantage of these new technologies. I'm not bringing people that passed into the present to do new things. We're doing things we really did in the past. Eli Lev in Greece created the video and I filmed the studio shots in Las Vegas and suddenly, I’m dancing with old friends. And of course, I cried again.”

I dance because we did
I dance because we could
I dance to show the world
I dance to show the good
I dance to feel you near
I dance to hold you dear
I dance to be the light
I dance to honor nights


On days that sadness wins
On nights that seem too cold
I know just what to do
When you I want to hold
I start to feel the beat
Let it move into my soul
then I no longer feel alone
The rhythm makes me whole

I dance because we did
I dance because we could
I dance to show the world
I dance to show the good
I dance to feel you near
I dance to hold you dear
I dance to be the light
I dance to honor nights

We may now be apart
But you dance in my heart
And all the joy you bring
Still leads my heart to sing
Your memory is strong
it's like a favorite song
And as I spin and sing
I feel the joy you bring

I dance because we did
I dance because we could
I dance to show the world
I dance to show the good
I dance to feel you near
I dance to hold you dear
I dance to be the light
I dance to honor nights

On days that sadness wins
On nights that seem too cold
I know just what to do
When you I want to hold

I start to feel the beat
Let it move into my soul
then I no longer feel alone

The rhythm makes me whole
We may now be apart
But you dance in my heart
And all the joy you bring
Still leads my heart to sing

Your memory is strong
it's like a favorite song
And as I spin and sing

I feel the joy you bring
I dance because we did
I dance because we could
I dance to show the world
I dance to show the good
I dance to feel you near
I dance to hold you dear
I dance to be the light
I dance to honor nights

So I don't fear the memories, I don't sit and cry
Just because the time had come for us to say goodbye
Instead I start to move across the dance floor is so wide
And soon my body starts to feel the love I I have inside (for you)

I dance because we did
I dance because we could
I dance to show the world
I dance to show the good
I dance to feel you near
I dance to hold you dear
I dance to be the light
I dance to honor nights
