Dance more

As i was saying previously, dance music changed so much right at the turn of the
21st Century, when hip hop and gangsta rap became more pronounced, with 50cents, Lil Wayne, Eminem, Busta Rhymes and others appearing with danceable rap... Listen to In da Club, the beat is so busting... I bet u are moving a bit to the tune u are remembering from it itself...
These music got more complex with meshes or mixes of different genres, again especially with hip hop... Hip hop began fusing with pop, producing dance tunes like ones u listen from Destiny's Child, B'yonce, Eve, Missy Elliot...

Anyways, the point here is that the meshing and complexity that occured now made the music scene more chaotic than order. It's kinda hard to dance to a song already, cos they are soo specific already... How to dance to In da club? Head bob, breakdance a bit... Can u do the pop choreograph from it? Can but hard... this is due to the tune itself.

Unlike the 80s, 90s. Dance was considered more "pure" in ways that u can nearly dance to any of the songs... Does this dilute the song? No actually... U in fact can create better moves along with it. The flow and pattern is wider. Experimentation is easier too...
Now, we have seen some of the vids already previously, and like other pop songs, they are "dancy", not pure dance...
Dance iteslf is different... U have a range of heavy beats in dance, which beats at a certain period in the song, making repetitions and such too. It is also divisible... U have jungle house, pure house, trance, acid jazz, fusion jazz, etc.

The good djs will be able to make a person dance to their songs, that is their duty. What? I am stating that: As long as u can dance to it,it's DANCE. Examples of such DJs include Chemical Brothers, Paul VAn Dyk,and others below :)
