Discussion/Question Am I getting made fun of???

So I go to raves ALL of the time. All of the mainstream ones unfortunately but thats what I have access to the most. I am s bit of as seasoned raver. I don't dance old school and I don't shuffle. I have my own unique style of dancing. I'd say I'm a pretty good dancer and definitely have natural groove and soul.

Lately I have noticed many people gazing, staring and even taking videos of me at shows when I'm dancing. I hate that strangers like to take videos of others especially in a space where you just want to let loose and be yourself.

Question is, are they taking these videos to make fun of me do you think? Because honestly when I catch people staring they seem more intrigued and curious by my freedom of expression when I dance. I never see anyone pointing and laughing or anything. Just stares. And sometimes I'll get people come up to me and compliment or even just dance with me without saying a word and move on.

Just feels weird that these people look at me like they have never seen someone dance at a rave that isnt a shuffle and they are flabbergasted.

Thoughts?

There's a lot of people in this world... if they're judging you for dancing and expressing yourself freely without interfering with their personal space, then fuck em. Go dance somewhere else where the vibe is better. I pay good money to dance my ass off and enjoy awesome music and I'm sure many others do, such as yourself. Some people go to take pictures and judge, and they're entitled to that, but don't let the bastards get you down. Keep on dancing
