StraydoG Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 As the title suggests. I absolutly love trance, basically the only style of music I listen to weather its regular, hard, psy, goa & prog etc... Thing is, I dont dance. It just doesnt feel natural. I well like a complete retard just spazzing out, its not me. Only dancing I do is on DDR, haha. In a club/party you get people asking you if your OK since your not dancing, I go for the music. Should I learn to dance, can I even??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seraph Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Of course it is not wrong, I know many people that don't dance but yet they hear the music very well. And you can't learn how to dance, but you can let yourself go, get entranced but that is impossible to happen these days cause most of the music is not even trancing enough. Letting yourself go is the best feeling one can have, making yourself completely possessed by music, you just need to let the music posses you and then the naturality of dance comes by itself.

devious Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Dude, you are so not alone on this. I've only danced when completely subjected to other things. Hah! Sober, I don't find it in myself. I remember though one time I was so messed up people were gathering around me to watch me dance. I was hot shit...until the drugs wore off, i shit you not, either. So yeah, dancing doesn't feel natural to me, but I find us people who do not dance, moretheless filled with this vibrational energy that everyone's watching and we're just self-conscious of looking like a bunch of idiots like the other dancers look like...yeah, most dancers look like idiots but at least they're having fun. I still have fun not dancing. I'd say if you feel like it's not normal, that is okay, getting possessed, well, that would suck, but knowing you enjoy the music and perhaps know it better than the other idiots dancing around you while you do nothing but sit there and bob your head up and down knowing that you're listening to the freshest bumps, well, that's priceless. i'mma start sounding like homeboi! imma be packin, yo! werd! -Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 You poor saps. I can't not dance. Even if I am just standing the beat just gets to me, it goes through the body and makes everything move. I don't even have to think about it consciously, if the music is good my body will start dancing by itself without brain interfering. It's one of the most amazing feelings in life for me. I guess it's one of the last free areas that my ego doesn't have total control over. Stop caring about what some insecure snob might think about the way you move and let yourself go. Music+dancing is like no other energy release. I truly believe that you are missing out on a huge chunk of the experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only been to one goa party. That was Hallucinogen and some other nice light hearted stuff. I vibrated like I had a dildo stuck in my butt, is that considered dancing? haha! =] Seriously though, I just think people have different ways of doing their own thing. I won't knock you for looking like an idiot flapping your wings so long as you won't knock me for standing there bobbin my head ridin the waves inside my mind looking like an idiot. -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devious Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I don't count all these Midwest parties really so much as goa influenced parties. There's absolutely no mind-body connection at all with whatever is played at todays events, damon. But when posford was in arkansas, the entire lineup was playing music I enjoyed and it wasn't my favorite event only because of posford but because they had a lineup that pretty much laid out a ton of goa goa goa melodic psy, the real deal and not the monotonous dark midwestern love stuff. I mean hell, truth is, I think all we should have here in the midwest is gabba everybody seems to love 180bpm dark stuff, so why not do 220bpm mental fucking breakdown banging techno metal, yeah? so yeah, one goa party! hah! -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Matta Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I like the music more than I do dancing, but when the music hits that sweet spot, I can't help but dance. The worst feeling is being on a dancefloor and wanting to dance but the music's no good - I feel like an awkward, wet mop. The best feeling is when the DJ's good enough to make you dance. Happens once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ormion Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I listen almost exclusively dance music but I ver dance well almost. I prefer to mind-tripping when I'm listening to music and rarely move my body but you can't call that dance. I agree with Otto BTW. The tracks that can really make me dance are only a few.

Jeller Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I always dance when i'm on the dancefloor and i'm not talking to someone, evne if I don't really like what's playing.. If i'm high on acid and I hear some very psychedelic trance (or other psychedelic dancing music) I'm also sad that I don't hear the track on a party.. so imo psychedelic trance should be danced to to get FULL profit from it but is it wrong to like trance but not to dance? No off course not In fact most psytrance is made for both listening and dancing, but I think the music gets more psychedelic when you dance to it.. some music like Kindzadza and Para Halu for example is even more hypnotic when you dance to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
