Dancing

Post Reply New Topic

I can't dance, I can't talk. The only thing about me is the way that I walk(awkward gait).

I am wwaaaaaaaaaayyyyy too ridgid, unless I'm drunk. I can swing dance well.

I've never actually danced with anyone before......

I can dance once I have social juice in me.

I haven't danced since eighth grade xD I can only slow dance :S anything else is beyond me.

Ya I didn't make that up. But you probally never heard the song, and my guess is you have no idea who Genesis is.

And the only reason I can swing dance is because we had to do it for my 'art' class. We did puppetry and mime and stuff.

Awesome lyrics.

I love dancing.

My prom is tommorow night & I am required to dance.

I can Tango and did learn The Spider.

I myself have a problem with dancing with actual dance steps. I used to do theater and the like and always had problems learning dances. But in the last couple of years I have learned that I loved going to dance clubs. I get out on the floor and I just let my body move to the music. And yes, I do look like I am having seziures at times. I listen to high energy music (trance, synthpop, industrial, techno, etc.) and just let go. It feels incredible. Some people think I look like a fool, and sometimes I dance like that when I probably should not, but I am doing it for me. And on the other hand sometimes people are quite impressed that I am willing to let go and dance what I feel.

I can't dance for the life of me.

I have a friend who is an avid ballroom dancer, and she's dragged me along to the studio on multiple occasions. As always, I make an idiot out of myself. I'm so stiff when I move. [Added to that, ballroom is done in high heels....which doubles my awkwardness.]

Dancing's okay, I guess...but I would so rather be in a mosh pit! It's an incredible adrenaline kick to get pushed around...at least for me.

Yes I can dance, and I can dance damn well as a matter of fact. Over the last decade or so I've picked it up and gradually developed my own style, which is actually in part a form of controlled stimming! I love electronic dance music with a really funky, weird edge, and when I get on the dance floor I can let fly to the point where I almost forget where I am, as I become so focussed on the dance.

My stimming has almost always had a balancing and/or rhythmical quality to it (I'm also a trained musician). I will pick up on some kind of sensory stimulus (which could be in any sensory field) and then act to produce a stim that reflects the original one on the opposite side to produce a left/right symmetry, and sometimes more complex forms of symmetry. I can also become focussed on producing certain rhythmically patterned stims which invariably need to be somehow aesthetically satisfying to me in a musical sense.

So in dance I have managed to harness the stimming energy and transform it into a freeflowing improvisational form of self-expression - part order, part chaos - and the best thing is that I can stim all I like with hundreds of people around me. Instead of people getting freaked out by the behaviour, they love it, and just want to join in. It is without question one of the most profoundly satisfying activities I have in my life.

I'm planning on taking bellydancing lessons sometime in the near future.

I don't know if I'm capable of normal dancing, since I've never been to a club or dancing event. I understand the concept, I just don't see the point in free-style dancing.. I mean, when I'm going about my day I never feel a random urge to dance, so I don't really get why people would gather and just.. dance.. I don't know. I'm going to stop talking now.

I don't know that it is a "random urge". It is something that I plan to do, much the same as going to the gym. And in much the same way I never "feel" like doing it before I start, I just know that I have enjoyed it in the past. And once I get into it it feels great.
