Personally I live for a big sweaty dance with friends in any context. We will groove to most genres of dance music, and do so often at gigs, raves, parties, festivals etc.

It took a while to deconstruct anxieties about other people's opinions of my dancing, but now I'm a lot better at it, and care a lot less, which go hand in hand I think. Dance is now a communal, meditative, ecstatic space where my social life and interests in art and music collide.

Recently saw a jungle/DnB set with Punjabi folk music mixed in, it was super cool to see people recognise lyrics and sing along to tunes totally outside my experience, and I didn't feel like some cultural voyeur, a scene-tourist taking up space, because we all got down and danced together. Yung Singh was the DJ.

Hope that provides some insight or something. No need to feel odd if it ain't your thing, it's by no means mandatory to enjoy!

As an aside, I always recommend music.ishkur.com for an irreverent tour through dance music.
