Teaching people to hear music (not while DJing)
I have a friend who I'm teaching some basic dance steps to. Unfortunately, he has trouble "hearing" the music. He has no idea when the 1 is, and in fact I think he may even have trouble hearing the beat. He wants me to help him learn how to "hear" the music. Any suggestions on ho...

No, because my situation is unique ... just like everyone else's ;) My point is that you can't paint with a broad brush when trying to describe why people don't dance fast. Everyone's got their own reasons and there's no need for cynicism or elitism. I think your situation is probably more unique t...

Just to give you another perspective, it's more than just that kind of stuff. I lost half a lung to a birth defect and throughout my life I have had a difficult time keeping up with fast paced things. I always find myself winded at the end of a fast song and have to sit out the next couple ... I do...

I'm just not interested in the modern version(s). Even the people that are really good at it don't really make me want to do it. I want to dance in a way that resembles the way they danced in the 30s. I often see very, very good dancers doing lindy hop and putting in moves that just don't seem (to m...

If Ken Burns' Jazz is to be taken as correct, then white musicians would never have played publically with black musicians (and vice versa) well into the 30's. Recording was different. According to the information presented in the series, the Bennie Goodman Trio (with Teddy Wilson) had records out t...

Relation between music and dance
