I don't believe in the phrase, "can't dance for ." Sure, there are some people who don't look good dancing, but they're still doing it. "Dance" is defined as " To move rhythmically usually to music, using prescribed or improvised steps and gestures." So the way I see it, as long as someone is moving how they want to move and are enjoying themselves, then they know how to dance. :) |

That's where the problem lies with people that can't dance. |

| I dance well and love it, it kinda spurs me on djing, as I want to be the one making people on the dancefloor dance, like when I used be in their position :) |

When I'm out at a club, I'm generally a booth whore, watching whoever's performing play, bobbing my head, and occasionally dancin' a bit if I'm so inclined, but I'm definitely not a dance floor whore by any stretch of the imagination, however...
When I'm spinning, I can't help but dance my ass off. I've been told more than once that just because of how much I dance around while I mix that I'm a lot of fun just to watch play, which I think is great, because I think a LOT of people who I end up playing for might not get as into it as they do if they saw me mixing like a robot a la PVD... I find it also REALLY helps me keep time, whether it's just moving my feet or busting out the quote en quote "Ferry fingers," pounding out a melody on the table... |

Hey guys... just thinking the same thing, was gonna come on and post a thread about it, luckily someone did it for me :D
When im around the decks i have to move groove, jump around etc, and when i go clubbing i loooove to dance, i never thought i could.. but i think i manage quite well considering the amount of guys i see there looking really funny when they dance.. only hting is itll take me a while on the booze to get me there lol...
Im ting it now because friday night its my first biggish club gig, playing here in adelaides number 1 trance night, peak-time set with the promoter / adelaides number 1 trance dj from 1:30-3:30
Im worried cus everyone there is gonna be alot older than me, with only a few of my mates which just turnded 18 with me dancing away.. not to sure to go mental and maybe look like a knob but have fun orrrr stay relaxed and mix |
