RE: Music Requests - there is a request list at the DJ booth. The DJ on Thursday and Saturday usually (sooner or later) plays almost everything on the list if it is in the music library. Just don't expect to hear it right away; if you have a request, write it down on the sheet well BEFORE you want to hear it.
RE: Music Genre - I haven't noticed an "overabundance" of hip-hop/rock being played. Despite what some people may think, if you watch, most of the songs are danceable (sure, there are the occasional experimental songs that get played just to see how the crowd reacts). You'll see alot of couples (including regulars) doing a west-coast swing, or even a two step, in many cases. Yes, there are others that just go out and shake their booty, too. A lot of people, including regulars, request the hip-hop/rock music. The majority of the music played is country music - at most, there may be about 12 songs per night that are hip-hop/rock (so figure that genre of music isn't played until 10pm, that would average out to about 3 songs per hour that are hip-hop/rock on a Saturday night).
RE: More Line Dances - if you think not enough line dances, perhaps you should talk to Joyce (line dance instructor). She may tell you to think again. Actually, she'll point out that there are plenty of line dances being played and that you just don't know enough of them. A line dance can be done to about every third song (on average), you just need to know the songs and corresponding dances. If you don't believe me, ask Joyce. Other people are also of the opinion that there are too many line dances being played. The DJ tries to play a variety to please everyone.
