They're not bad dancers- JUST DIFFERENT!

Imagine yourself sitting in a club. Your eyes move on to a horde of dancers on the dance floor. They seem to be dancing pretty well. Where as there are a few of them who seem to be different than the rest. Out of the blue you over hear a few comments such as, "Oh! She can't dance". Sometimes the comments are even more nasty, "look at that clown" or "he is just hopping - may be he should take some lessons!"

Have you ever voiced this to yourself- What is the motive behind dancing? Just move your eyes towards the other corner of the dance floor. You can see a person who is freaking out up to the fullest. His steps appear weird to you, he is banging his head more times than he is supposed to, his actions speak louder than the music being played. He is not bothered about the people who are looking at him.He belongs to a particular category of dancers, which dance every dance (even if they can't!) They are always smiling and having fun. I always watch these dancers in fascination.
When you are dancing in front of a mirror behind close doors in your bedroom you are not thinking of your dancing style or the kind of steps you do. You are just moving to the music or for that matter moving without music. You are dancing in way that you want and that you derive pleasure from. Your feet are moving to the tunes of your heart and not to the tunes of others' judgments.So, when your only intent behind attending a social gathering is having fun, then why to restrict yourself to the common or the "in" style of dancing. Why can't you dance the way you dance in front of your mirror? Even if you just get up and sway to music, that is your way of expressing yourself. Try thinking, 'They are not bad dancers- they're just different'.
