I really enjoy dancing to live music but then I also really enjoy watching and listening to live music as well. I always find that the way things are done slightly differently when live makes things a lot more interesting and on occassions you get bands which interact with the dancers or those watching which can be great fun.
I would generally be happy to stump up a few extra quid if I knew a band were going to be playing. I really enjoyed the Jive Aces at the weekend and the only other dancey band I've seen this year was Big Bad Voddoo Daddy who were ace.
That said though a good DJ can also lift a night and I thought the balance was just about right at the weekend at the BB where we had both a band and a DJ and with the band playing 2 sets of approx 40 mins meant we had the best of both worlds
