I'm not so sure (well for me at least). I think part of the problem is, if I'm having a great time I'll work with bad music, whereas if I'm having a bad time the bad music is obvious and I end up having a worse evening. This actually presents a problem for my analysis since it can be difficult to determine if dances are going well because of the other factors or if the other factors are better because the dances are going well.
