Hi! I'm new here and just recently diagnosed. My therapist told me to find a safe place to unmask. I found a safe place to unmask at a vintage dance group. We folk dance and work on many traditional dances such as polka, waltz, and tango. Skill level doesn't matter. I think I like it because I enjoy being around people, but I don't want to talk about anything. I also love music and I crave touch. I don't know if any of this sounds weird for an autistic person, so I just wanted to see if anyone else really enjoys dancing with people and finds this a safe place as well. I wish you all joy as you navigate your uniqueness.
I love regency dancing, ceilidh dancing, Scottish folk dancing, English folk dancing and Welsh folk dancing.
I find that it's much more about geometry and moving to music than 'expressing yourself' which I find more difficult.
I love music too.
It sounds like great fun.
Welsh folk dancing! All the years I've lived here I've never heard of it, but I've often wondered why there dosen't seem to be any, I thought it might of been supressed by the chapel movement?
