I am suggesting that we play music that makes it as easy as possible for beginners to learn ceroc. I certainly don't think beginners are bad and have never said that !!!!!! And they are usually FABULOUS once they have had a revision class or two with me
My concern is that after the revision class they are starting to get the moves and are ready to put them into practice on that scary big dancefloor out there (have you been listening to Ducasi and hearing how scared some people are to get dancing ???????????) ...... On several (in fact numerous) occasions I have felt that the track (or two) just after the class is too fast or too slow for them to dance confidently to... How demoralising must that be !!!!!!!
I am not suggesting "rubbish" music.. (whatever that is !!!) I am saying that some tracks are more challenging than others to dance to so why not save them till nearer the end of the night ?? What's the big deal ?????
And I am also NOT thinking of myself when it comes to the music BEFORE 9.45 I am thinking of the beginners... (I admit I am dismayed if one of my favourite tracks gets played before the watershed cos I can't dance to it as I would want to cos I'm going to be dancing with beginners (and I'm talking one or two classes beginner here !!!!) (NB not bad - just beginners !!! and many of them would have a heebie geebie fit if I did wiggly things to breaks etc and I would simply never do that to a beginner !!!!) I admit I DO want more challenging music AFTER 9.45 cos I want to dance with more experienced dancers and let rip a little... And feel free to throw rocks at me for my sinful and selfish ways but please note that that's how we get paid ! And as a taxi, I dance with beginners when I am not on duty cos they know me and I dance as a man when there are too many women so I think I am doing my fair share... so a few yummy dances with a few yummy dancers isn't asking too much - is it ???? ... nor is it EXCLUSIVE before we get into that one again...
Please note that I have had many comments of gratitude from beginner men AND women in the last 4 years ... I want them to come back.. I want them to enjoy themselves.... I want them to learn something.. and I want them to feel confident at the end of a night... I think the choice of music early in the evening can make a huge contribution to these factors.... and let's face it, if the music didn't really matter we could just lose the djs and put a cd on and press random play...
I really am only suggesting that certain tracks should be played later in the evening..... I can't see why people would think that was such a bad thing to suggest
