Refusing to dance at an event where people are is literally an anti-social act.

Please note that I am NOT making a moral judgement whether or not you should always act in a pro-social way.

This is exactly what I mean. What other activities to people start claiming "you are being anti social" because you don't participate? Why do people treat dance as if it's a sacred act that everyone must participate in?

Respect people's choices. Let people be adults who have the right to choose.

By that definition, there are no sacred acts that everybody must participate in. Why do we even have that word or phrase? Because we know there are some things out is antisocial not to do. You don't have to do them, but yes, you will be judged for not participating.

> there are no sacred acts that everybody must participate in

I mean, I would say this is trivially true?

> You don't have to do them, but yes, you will be judged for not participating.

Why do you deserve to be judged for not dancing, but not for something like joining an 8 player Mario Kart race?

The word "anti-social" comes embedded with a moral judgement. You can't just claim you're not making one.

You can do many other social things at a gathering. Dancing is just one of them.
