Sadly, the "right headspace" for me involves either several drinks in quick succession, or it being my wedding.

I mean, I do think it goes along with indulging in something, bit of booze and weed, or stronger on occasion depending on the kind of party. I can do some dancing sober but it loses it's appeal much faster.

I do know people that love dancing sober as a bird, I just don't think that's gonna be everybody, or even most people. It's like any social event, a lot of people are gonna want at least one or two drinks to let the walls come down a bit.

Lot of people though that flat out won't put themselves out there and I think that stinks for them, you never know what can come from getting outside of your comfort zone. For me, I never would've gotten together with my wife if I wasn't willing to dance, and a few years before we met I was on the "I hate dancing" train for a while, so I know where some of that comes from.

Doesn't balance well with how I'm trying to deal with my alcoholism.
