I fell that...Rhythm is every dancer's business.<br />I fell that if we do not use music with a strong foundation on the original swing music characteristics in classes, we are impregnating our students with a sense of rhythm/feeling/mood that might not match that of the dance... And this imho will not be good for the students, the community and the dance itself.<br /><br />Great article again Dr. JazzAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03149810904924593503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703373304526826422.post-17781119197237429772013-02-06T12:43:33.555+01:002013-02-06T12:43:33.555+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03149810904924593503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703373304526826422.post-35907109859650637042012-08-30T09:07:39.356+02:002012-08-30T09:07:39.356+02:00I think finding "good" music is allways ...I think finding "good" music is allways a challenge :) If we are not using swing music in class (and parties), we are certainly not swing dancing. There is nothing wrong with non-swing-dancing, but then the moves and dynamics of Lindy Hop (which are hopefully taught in a Lindy class :)) are unappropriate.Isaachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05970733541783059660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703373304526826422.post-22960912303882576742012-08-24T10:37:32.702+02:002012-08-24T10:37:32.702+02:00thanks for the encouragement, I really appreciate ...thanks for the encouragement, I really appreciate it!<br /><br />There'll be two related articles coming up some time, one about how to find music, and the educational aspects of dj-ing. They'll then be linked in, but this way I can stick to "one article, one message" :)Veit Hailperinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12185435839221545601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703373304526826422.post-92009389919295297402012-08-24T10:28:37.371+02:002012-08-24T10:28:37.371+02:00Great start for this blog my friend! It is indeed ...Great start for this blog my friend! It is indeed a challenge to find good swing music that is suitable for a beginners ears, but it's also worth it. <br /><br />It's also about "filtering" if your students initially were attracted to the "non-swing music" this is what your local dancers will ask for also at the parties and make it difficult for you as an organizer creating the culture that you want. <br /><br />Looking forward to read more stuff here.<br />Share to grow!<br />Ali<br /><br />Ps. thanks for the quote: "one article, one message" ;)Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18255540313780423092noreply@blogger.com
