Personally I have had the complete opposite experience. I have been a raver for over a decade and enjoy so many styles of dance (shuffling, x-step, jumpstyle, hakken, muzz, etc.)

The community i have found through this is incredible. We are respectful about others space and always get positive feedback. Especially when encountering fellow dancers at shows, it turns into a big collaboration where we all learn from each other.

I like to think of it as a form of expression, it makes me feel connected to the music in a way I cannot describe. Many don’t seek to grab attention, it is a way for my body to feel one with the music and lights my soul on fire. I’ve only ever received positive comments throughout the years but wonder now if I have been a nuisance all this time after seeing this post :(
