the tempo of the beats pick up as the music is blaring out from the system playlist (something unlike most clubs which would have a dj controlling the songs)

but i am not able to get into the rhythm of the music, something i find very important to get me moving/dancing. a section is intoxicated enough to just shake along to which ever music is being played and a section just as eager as me to find the rhythm and get that to their feet.

i am moving along to the music but yet to dance - not the technically perfect steps for music but the let your hair down move to the music kind of dance - i am still glancing around to see the people and give myself a certain kind of boost that i am not alone it moving awkwardly. then a guy pretty much completely drunk enters the dance floor and joins his friends, his friends were part of the section of people like me searching for the comfort zone. but his presence and naturalness of the movement, i think instilled some kind of confidence into the steps of his friends and they started to move in sync to the music.

what am i in doing in the dance floor, not even making an attempt to dance? so i let go of the inhibition and just let my feelings towards the music being played out, changing each time to a simple zombie like movement to show my disapproval of the music and then onto some steps from my limited repository to show my interest in the song being played.

a glance at that one fleeting moment, reiterated that i should not be too self conscious of what i am doing and what the people around me would be thinking of. cause in the end i am in the dance floor just to enjoy my time i am outside.

these moments come by and just reassure you, what you are doing is headed in the intended direction and you have nothing to worry about.
