I always tell new DJ's to watch who is not dancing and see if you can rotate them onto the dance floor without upsetting the total amount of dancers on the dance floor, flow of the music, or mood of the room. I would think for the sylabus you would want to talk about DJing at different times of the ...

Were the requests from locals or visitors? If it was locals, perhaps that stuff is common and they are used to/expect it/believe it to be normal Lindy Hop music.

Are dancers musical tastes changing?
I just had a series of the weirdest requests at Soflex during late night. within a span of an hour I got a request for Tom Jones-Sex Bomb, another one for anything from the latest Justin Timberlake record, and a third request for anything modern.

I no longer have any specific DJ personality, I now have mulitple personalties. I just like to play good music mix in some common stuff with stuff that people have not heard.

I actually play, New Rubbin' on that darn old thing by Oscar's Chicago Swingers occasionally at Lindy hop events, it's an uptempo classic jazz song few people notice how dirty the lyrics are, but if they listened they ...
