4) Dancers like songs of the right length. You usually don't have to worry about your tunes being too short, but in the rare instance of having a favorite tune that's only one minute long, you can make a double or triple-length version easily, splicing together repeats of that tune, into one longer version, while maintaining the beat. Music editing software is a good way to do this. The far greater problem is a tune lasting too long, usually meaning more than three minutes. It's a twofold problem. (1) Most social dancers would prefer to have four 3-minute dances with four partners than two 6-minute dances in the same time. Variety and contrast are good. (2) Many leads/men feel that their repertoire of freestyle dance figures is exhausted after two or three minutes, and they would much rather move on to something else.

are you fucking serious?

Probably never danced on the full version of Jam & Spoon - Follow Me, but then again probably also never heard it in a club.

In all fairness, that text talks about a completely different type of DJing, as can be seen from the track suggestions made here:

Lol your favourite track is 1 minute long, 1 minute tracks without being a joke-track exist? And the solution is looping it 3 times...
