    Re: Dancing out of beat

    One thing that's a little OT but I'd still like opinions about it is that:

    One class I've been to seems to have a DJ who pretty much sticks to the same track for the whole class (and across weeks as well), apart from me finding this lack of adapting to the moves or keeping it fresh annoying me I was wondering if this leads to people who just experience this being less musical. I mean if you are just learning and you learn moves by rote at 110bpm, when the class ends beginner leads, with enough on their mind, might just carry on dancing by rote at the same speed. I'm not saying that leads won't break away from that but I certainly could see why it might make it more difficult.

    What do you think?

    I'd expect it to be a little like learning a move whilst always facing the same way. It can make it easier to learn, but also harder in freestyle, where the orientation might be different.
    Having said that, I enjoy classes where the same track is used throughout, and the teacher explains how to fit the moves being taught to the track being played.
