It doesn’t matter what people say. You basically don’t even talk. It just matters how good people are at dancing.
But also, they generally like teaching beginners, because the beginners get pretty good within a few weeks or months of regular attendance, and then there are more good dance partners, and that makes lots of people happy because they LIKE DANCING.
Yes!!! I thought the same. I’ve recently begun swing dancing, and found it both fun and an anti-edgelord medicine. Most of my favorite folks to dance with are people who have no knowledge or interest in the intellectual ideas I care about, yet I’ve been able to learn so much from them. I think that’s been the essential thing for me.. learning from people who I likely wouldn’t enjoy conversation with otherwise. Gives me a happy glow towards humanity :))
There’s such a diverse array of perspectives, and I love how social it is without requiring actual discussion. If you want to chat, dancing is an automatic object of conversation… but you really don’t need to.
Have you tried swing dancing or something similar? It teaches you a physical skill, gets you out of your brain and into your body, and is more effective for treating depression (if you ever find yourself in need of such) than Prozac!
