You know something about Sia's "Chandelier"?. The movement Maddie makes in the video:the jerkiness of the movement with some kinda automaticity gonna on,the wtf-erry it'd evoke in most ppl, the convoluted gestures, the free-spirited flailing just to get around a dingy building, all those movements coming from/based on what I'm guessing in contemporary dance.
;_; Mon Dieu!,it speaks to my autism!. ESP. to how it f---ng was for me before I was ~12. I can just imagine that had it'd been like ~5 yr old me (aside from wearing like black shorts and a shirt) I'd be doing it'd have components closer to "popping" or breaking than mostly contemporary dance.
My mind can easily "switch mode" into thinking that Sia is singing the lyrics of the song

with this take on them instead--
Party people don't get hurt
Can I feel anything, when will I learn?
I push it down, push it down
I'm not one for a “having fun”
Feelings blowin' up, ringin' my brain-bell
Can I feel the love?, Can I feel the love?
1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, think
1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, think
1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, think
Throw 'em back 'til I lose control
I'm gonna swing from the pendulum, from the pendulum
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the pendulum, from the pendulum
But I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down, won't open my eyes
Have my glass half full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
Sun is up, I'm a mess
Gotta get out now, gotta run from this
Here comes the shame, here comes the shame
1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, think
1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, think
1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, think
Throw 'em back 'til I lose count
I'm gonna swing from the pendulum, from the pendulum
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the pendulum, from the pendulum
But I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down, won't open my eyes
Have my glass half full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
On for tonight
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Oh, I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
On for tonight
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Oh, I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
On for tonight
