i *love* dancing, but ppl don't usually like watching videos of dancing unless it's novel and like top 0.01% of skill. I don't feel the same gap with visual art; I feel like I get sort of proportionate appreciation for my drawings given how much I love doing it.

which is sad! dancing is so important for me, but it feels solo, uniquely so among all the other things i make/practice/create

You should get together with

@AlexxxCoal

and do some dancing videos. I bet she would love to.

Are there videos of you dancing because I can never picture it. Like your (Twitter) personality clashes with the idea of self expression in that manner.

Watching dancing irl is much better than videos, more exciting at all skill levels

Your spooky possessed hand thing last year was like dancing only better.

Listen if people will buy bath water or anything else… why would they not watch you dance? My feeling is make a channel and make it subscription… people will buy!

you might like contact improv dance. it’s improvised, and can be sensual, or athletic, or anything you co-create in the moment. it requires at least two, but there’s no limit to the number of partners.

Rando stops to say the dancing video you posted here several months ago, entirely g-rated, was charming. Where can one find your art?

Replying to

You are probably the best dancer I’ve watched that wasn’t a professional, at least I don’t think you are a professional dancer!

Replying to

Definitely. I've sometimes thought of dancing as an almost "selfish" art form: Because it often brings more pleasure to the performer (endorphins, etc.) than the viewer as compared to other art like music/visual art.
