A few friendly pointers on the dos and don't of asking for a dance on the social floor :D What do you guys think? Anything you'd add to the list of dos and don'ts?

Good morning!! Who wants to talk psychology? The Flow State-- first coined in psychology as the "autotelic state" by Hungarian-American psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihaly-- is one of my favorite psychology topics. It was discovered when looking into the factors that lead to generalized well-being and life satisfaction. All over the world, people would repeatedly report moments in this state as their happiness points in life. It is a sort of "effortless effort" An auto-pilot where you're outside of yourself. Your sense of self diminishes as does anxiety and depression. And your overall capacity for happiness is increased. All mammals, esp social ones, are wired for this flow state. I've found my flow state in writing, art, live music, interesting conversations, and-- far more than anything-- DANCE. And here's why I think swing dance is a perfect environment for flow to flourish. Where have you most found your flow? And how does it feel for you? How has this impacted your life? I wanna know!! Thanks for watching! :D

I’m not liking these AI slop - jazz bands sprouting about on Spotify. Thankfully Spotify allows you to block these artificial artists from playing or showing up in your feed. I support real artist expression. Having AI play jazz strips all meaning from the art form.
