Re: Does the music style dictate the dance style?

Same with "too slow"; it should be possable to base your dancing on double time and use lots of 'sweeps' and drawn out moves to keep conneted?
Theoretically yes. But realistically no.

Take 'Emotion' by Destiny's Child as an example. Off the top of my head it is about 82 bpm. You could dance to it as 164 bpm, but you would then be dancing like a maniac to a slow romantic song.

Also if you had a drum and bass track at 180 bpm, do you gain anything by halving it to 90?

PS is it drum and bass or drum and base?
