Odessi - Over Again

it just means that you enjoy edm more than hip hop.. since you like edm more, youre naturally able to dance to it. vice versa for ppl who like hip hop more than edm. they'd start a thread in a hip hop forum saying 'why cant i dance to dance music ?'

Posted by Geoff on Jan-28-2005 01:22:

i think that "d" in edm means somethin

u cant dance to it because its shit. plain and simple, people who listen to it are just listening to it to make themselfs look harder and more socially accepted.

besides, its rap, u aint meant to dance to it. rap to it or something.

as a basic rule, u cant make crap unless u got rap.

Yes, that's exactly the reason I listen to it. To look cool. Same reason I listen to Swedish metal... you know, cause it's the cool thing to do.

I hear people make fun of rap on the internet, cause it's the cool thing to do.

Its not that hard, just shake your ass

Actually rap is probably one of the easier forms of muisc to dance to

Posted by Alexan on Jan-28-2005 06:33:

I've never really danced to it but I listen to it. But not the "cool" stuff kids in school listen to like Eminem or some such shit. More like Cypress Hill and The Roots. I actually find nu-skool breaks the easiest to dance to.

Posted by Zild on Jan-28-2005 07:02:

You can't dance to it cause you are lacking rhythm. Its easy to dance to faster stuff like Techno and House because you can do whatever, bounce around or stomp or whatnot and nobody is going to care. If you're dancing to hip-hop you either have to do the "booty shaking", "grinding" type bullshit or you have to know how to break or poplock. I like to poplock to not only hip-hop but also techno, house, and trance it takes alot of practice though but I've always loved dancing. Don't get me wrong I hate the crap hip-hop they play on the radio too but that doesn't mean I can't dance to it. Oh yeah, FYI hip-hop is a type of EDM, its electronic music and people dance to it. Some of the best dancers I have ever seen have been b-boys and b-girls. They have the sickest moves.

well i can break/poplock and its WAYYY easier and alot more fun to house music, and ALOT more fun to breaks. holy shit that is my new thing UK breaks! not so much trance cuz its damn difficult at 140+bpm...but a nice chunky 132 is great. hip hop is just too slow...maybe its me i dunno.

nah your right actually, 130+ is excellent to dance to. Alot of the nu-skool stuff like Hybrid and some of BT's new stuff is good. Hip hop and rnb is too slow.

I just lean back....

....and do the rockaway.

Just try slowing your movements down and flowing to the beat. Don't think about it just let the beat carry you across the dance floor. I spin breaks because of my passion for dancing but I also spin underground hip-hop. You've probably just never really danced to alot of hip-hop. I say find some songs you like and start dancing to them. You can't be good at dancing if you've never done it before.
