Like any other form of art under capitalism, dance has been colonized. Despite the colonization, when I go to places where people practice dance, studios that do house are probably the only place I can go to where I still feel encouraged by my peers even though I'm not very good at it.

There are house dance studios?

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

Definitely. I went to a show once in a park where someone who has been part of the house scene for years did like a dance style demo to various classic house songs and was teaching folks how to do it along with her as an advertisement for her studio. It was cool.

By studio, I mean that there are dancers who organize by renting space from a dance studio on a schedule.

Oh I just used to listen to house in night clubs

Right on. If you live in an area where there's house dancing, you might meet a comrade.

I don’t have money for nightclubs and I’m sober. They’re not the ideal place for either of those two things, I also have pretty bad depression and find it hard to get out of bed. This website is the most social interaction I get now a days.

Not nightclubs. A lot of house dancing happens as a practice. I mean like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gdom_GKgq6A

I can’t think of anything more anxiety inducing than dancing in a bright room infront of people. What I used to like about night clubs is that it was dark and relatively anonymous.

My bad, that was a bad example of what I usually do, which is dancing in the corner with a few people.

It’s ok I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself. I recently got into ghetto tech it’s also a fun music genre
