it’s a raw display of the body being overtaken by emotion and passion and sensuality. theres something so personal and vulnerable about dancing on your own, and yet it makes you feel like the ruler of your own world (even if not for long).
every time i hear the robyn song dancing on my own i think of the scene in girls when marnie and hannah dance in hannah’s room after she find out her ex was gay. it’s such a perfect scene and a perfect song, and i really feel they both encapsulate the feeling private dance parties evoke for me.
it took me longer than it should have to get into it, but now i think i organically feel the need to have a dance party in my room once a week or so. i think this is the way it should be.
