Dancing is a highly social activity for extroverts that people with any hint of autism spectrum rarely do, and the last thing I would imagine about the LW community is to be less autistic than the average.

The social dance scene is full of over educated introverts. Ritualized social interaction. Uncomfortable chit chat is not required.

Also, I think introverts tend toward kinesthetic sensory focus, for which dance provides a natural outlet.
