DANCE WITH ME--A TALE OF DANCING AND OTHER FETISHES
Here's what happened when I (male) went dancing, many years ago:
Perhaps, I'm timid about meeting new people. Indeed, I'm rather certain that finding random dates and snagging women with faux-shallow pickup lines is not my calling. Surely, I don't believe I've the greatest aptitude for that. But I like dancing. So instead, I mostly go alone since really it's not so bad that way, once you get use to it.
Besides, it's not as if I go dancing so as to razzle-dazzle everyone with my fancy footwork, because forasmuch as I can tell, I don't have any dancing talents. However, listening to the music, especially the loud music in the disco clubs, is still a lot of fun. I love the deep base as it pounds in my ears and pulsates on my body. Plus, I love it more when I become lost in ecstasy from the wild, cool rhythms. Techno and trance are two of my favorite styles of dance music; in addition, I also like alternative, drum and bass, and hip-hop too. And though the booming, ear-piercing music, often featuring breakneck metronomic drum beats, is admittedly great for trancing, the constant blasting does make it tough to start a conversation. "HELLO!" I could try yelling. "WHAT'S YOU'RE NAME?" I could scream, loud as I can. But then even if she happened to answer, with the noise volume so high, I wouldn't likely hear what she said anyway.
Therefore, when I go dancing, I definitely stick to the plan. I prepare myself to be alone, on my own, dancing partnerless. Then when I walk inside the club and scope out a place where people are congregating, I stand there plainly for a period doing nothing but watching the actions of others cutting it loose. It's an adjustment at first, when I'm there by myself, because I feel a little nervous upon arrival. I've no support team, or groupies, or others to identify with, especially because I'm probably too old for most of the younger adults anyway. And in the event I can't find a suitable place to stand, I bug off to the restroom, kill time, and then relocate to a new position.
Next, as I stand watching the dancers, I grant myself ample time to savor the music and feel the acoustics. I block out my anxiety and gradually begin to feel at peace with the vibe. I permit myself to ease into a musical hypnotic rapture and not worry about who I am or who I can dance with. So as I let the music sink deeply inside me, it bleeds into my character and I become renewed and energized. Confidently then, I head solo to the center of the floor and start moving and dancing to the wonderful flowing sounds.
And that's why I'm there: the energy of the music, the breathing hard while dancing, and the feeling of being whimsically intoxicated while dancing in a smooth melodic rhapsody. Consequently, then, dancing alone can be a satisfying experience. However, despite that I do my best to mind my own business, there're times when I simply can't do that.
Such was the case that night as I was dancin' along and having fun; I was also having a challenging time keeping my concentration. With the slippery mind that I have, it's easy to get sidetracked. Naturally I become preoccupied. And often I'll be absorbed with the frolicking, mischievous activities and scrumptious sights that are all around me. It'd be better to ignore all that tempting stuff and stay focus on dancing and grooving with my higher consciousness. If only I could be steadfast enough to do that. But it's not that simple. Not for me. Not with all the amusing and interesting things that surround me. Hence, distinctly, that was the situation as I recall that evening. Three such incidences kept throwing me off my mission to dance, chill, and relish in my own doings.

So there I was that night, dancing away on the dance floor. Bodies everywhere, mostly in pairs, but a few dancers were also on the floor dancing stag exactly like me. Meanwhile, as I was busy jumping and getting wobbly, I did a poorly executed stomp step, which I hoped I counterfeited decently enough to pass for dancing. But otherwise during that time, in addition to raving, I was also scoping out my vicinity, of course, just in case I needed to spot any special treats that might be close to my area.
