Dancing on beat.

Does it really matter if you dance on the up beat or down beat? I find that it is easier to find the up-beat than the down beat. So I tend to dance on the up beat. What do you think?

All I know is that I switch legs when the snare hits.
I don't mind if people are out of time...it's nice they're dancing anyways.
What gets me, doesn't happen often, is when the pit goes clockwise.

i agree. the more people who dance the better.

I knew this person once.

She flailed a wildly awful flail that was kind of embarassing.

Other than that particular 'dance', it's all good.

Do what ya want!

PS: It looked like Elaine Benes' THE DANCE from seinfeld. http://www.sonypictures.com/tv/shows/se ... 04_100.ram

PPS: We need to see more people doing the twist.

PPPS: We need to see more gothic literature students doing the twist.

humans have a natural inclination towards counterclockwise behavior. No joke. If you were left out in a huge open desert and just walked straight, eventually youd cmake a big counter-clockwise circle and end up where you started.

aside from that i usually go up on the upbeats, the downs just fall into place

Left foot down on thedown beat, kick the right out on the up

THEN

right down on the down beat, kick left on up

THEN

repeat.

I don't think about it, so I honestly can't tell you. And when I do think about it, that's when I get off-beat.

Lets revive the Charleston.

Chew?

Say! Any of you know how to Madison?

Charleston? Talk about complicated. Not without it's fun, though.

I'm a big fan of the twist, and swing for dumbies. Which is all I know how to do.
