: Oh my, I must respond. I know a lot of line
: dances, and I'm pretty darned creative at
: getting out there, figuring out the beat,
: and then flipping through my mental rolodex
: of dances to find a dance that fits.
:
: Joyce is a great teacher, however, when its
: hip/hop its just not going to work usually.
: Even if I'm willing to be out there in the
: middle of the floor by myself, figuring out
: a line dance that will work, I may be by
: myself, or with one or two others, because
: not everyone else is willing to do that. And
: that just isn't that much fun.
:
: Instead of a line dance being done every
: third (or fourth) dance, how about every
: other dance? Or... how about every dance and
: couples dances every 3 or 4 dances? I
: know... sacreligious. BW has made it really
: clear to this line dancer that they are far
: more interested in partner dances than line
: dances.

: 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.
