FAQs
-
Joining us online is something easy! Simply click this link to join us on Zoom at the appropriate time. You can see our schedule of when we dance & register ahead of time at our Eventbrite page.
-
You do not need to dance! To start, you can simply observe & even turn your camera off. We understand this activity as something different & strange, so welcome anyone to join even without plans to dance.
-
We acknowledge that dancing online with strangers is something unusual & different, and likely uncomfortable. It is not a normal or typical thing to do. If you feel any type of anxiety, social discomfort, or awkwardness, then know that’s exactly how dorks feel and you are already doing & feeling the thing that most all of us experience as well. You are not alone in this feeling. But the decision to join really depends on you!
-
We record our dance sessions in order to capture the joy & fun that dork dancers are having – to then promote and share this positive energy with others! It is part of our mental health advocacy campaign. If we don’t document our dancing, it is hard for us to grow and spread the good vibes. If you want to dance and stay anonymous, simply turn off your camera and change the display name on Zoom. Then you can still dance with us and avoid any kind of spotlight!

The playlist is prepared by the Dork Dancing host. The music really varies depending on the musical preferences of the host AND the preferences of the group. We ask for the community to submit “Song Requests” so we can have a nice mix of dancers’ musical interests. Lots of the music that we play are mainstream, energetic dance music. Genres vary. You won’t enjoy every song, but we hope you may enjoy most! The unpredictability of the music is part of the adventure. If you’d like us to play a particular song, just let us know!

Dork dancers join from all over the world! We have dork dancers often joining from Vietnam, the United States, South Africa, Japan, Malaysia, France, Croatia, Canada, etc. Every dance session is different, with different dorks joining us. We aspire for our dance to be as inclusive and as accessible as possible. Hope you may consider joining us!
