I would suggest to play music or song that is not too long.
In one of the parties, I once heard a piece of Viennese music that is over 6 minutes long!

Some discussions were made about the music of friend club's parties on another thread.
I hope the club can take that into consideration.

Hi Helloman, I did pratice my steps a bit there with my friends but I didn't have a chance to dance with the girls. Just my own opinion, the musics were a bit uninspiring and too many songs for 快三 in a row. Also, the music, for example, for ChaChaCha dance was a bit too old and slow. I myself like old Chinese musics too but sometimes we need to put some new inspiring musicss,especially like ChaChaCha, Rumba,Merengue,Salsa, Merengue and so on. Combination of old and new songs is always the best to change the atmosphere on the dance floor. I always hope that Friend's Club can do successfully and attract more dancers or dancelovers like us. I believe that many people will have the same feeling as mine. By the way, Helloman, are you one of the organizers or a friend of organizers? Were you there last Saturday? Thanks

I am not associated with the organizers.
This Friend-club-organized activity
is one of the very few, if not the only, regular social dance event
that is organized by and for the Chinese community,
so I really hope that it can do well enough to become an interesting destination for most of us.

As for the music selection, yes, I agree that it is a bit weak.
It is not that they don't have a good collection,
because in the past, I've heard some really good songs in the parties.
Maybe the DJ can't really distinguish the hot numbers
from the sleep-inducing lulloby.
I think the organizers should do some house cleaning of their dance music collection before the next party.
In each dance music category, for example, ChaCha, Rumba, swing, etc. identify and rank the songs from "Wow", to "hot", to "what's this !", to "never mind".
If they don't know enough to decide,
then they should consult the people who dance often for their opinions.
Another rule is "don't play 2 songs of the same dance consecutively".

I hope they would read the posts here
or someone who know them can pass the words.

I am an average Joe.
I blend well in a crowd, so you probably wouldn't notice me
even if I were in the party.

Anyway a few of my dancing friends will be there next time.

Hi Helloman and Li Lian:

Glad to see that we have party each month. I went to the last several parties and I found the music was good and improved a lot. I definitely agree with Li Lian's point of view that it's difficult to please everybody since some like Latin and Western music (Cha Cha, Rumba and so on) and other like old Chinese music. Nothing's wrong with that since we all have different preferences about music. I would say that we have two groups of dancers. One group learnt western social dance here and the other learnt social dance somewhere. I think it's natural and beautiful no matter what styles they dance, just that they learnt from different places. Even students learnt from different school dance differently too. So as my previous posting mentioning that it's better to combine the music together and people can learn from each other if they want or they can dance whatever they like. Another issue is that some of my friends say that a few individuals don't have proper dresses and shoes when they come to the party. I think they are right. To make the dance floor more attrative, it's better to dress properly and neatly. As I went to a few ballroom dance floors in Montreal, I saw many people dress nicely. By the way, Helloman, will you go to the party this Saturday? If yes, we could meet and say "Hi" to each other and also to the organizers. Thanks
