I had to read this a few times to see whether I understood it or not
I have to say that some of the best times (the most fun) I have had in MJ is when I was a beginner/improver learning moves and experimenting. It was great.
WCS is definately not always fun.

Im not disagreeing but I have to question that.
I think its more of a case that MJ is so ill-fitting to a lot of 'contemporary' WCS music that it just shouldn't be attempted.
Take 'Kelly Clarkson - Whats up lonely'. A fantastic WCS track and a staple in many of the clubs in the states. If an experienced/advanced MJer tried to dance to that they would either look pretty silly or they would have to fade into a different style be that blues or whatever.
It all comes down to how we categorize MJ but IMO it just doesn't adapt itself to some of the tracks. Of course there are some 'traditional' (as sonny watson calls it, not my definition) WC tracks that are used in both but these dont appear to be the norm in the few clubs in the UK.
