You don't need to worry about what they think is right or wrong. What looks better is immaterial outside a competition or a show. Yes a good tango couple might look better dancing to a tango track than a jive couple. But that jive couple (hopefully) feel better dancing to it than sitting down.


Excellent post, David.

When you dance another style, and a piece of music that fits that style comes on, you can't help but think "I wish I could find a partner to swing/tango/WCS/salsa etc. to this with!", because that's what the music is telling you to do, that's what you're feeling. But that doesn't mean you can't do anything else to it, especially MJ, which you can do to (almost) anything! I'd much rather dance MJ to a fabulous swing track than just sit at the side and wish I was dancing!
