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.
