[Dixielandjazz] Dance tempo

[Ron L'Herault]

If you want the dancers to stay around, I think you have to vary the tempos.
Too many fast ones in a row tires them out.  You have to stick a slow and or
a medium tempo tune it the mix.

Hello Berl:

If the place you are performing is serving and depending upon the sales of
beverages and or food you don't want the floor full all the time, let em eat
and
drink so the place makes some money and can keep paying you to perform.

Otherwise just have a dance in the local church social hall charge admission
and let em dance all day or night.   Whether we like it or not it costs
money
to have fun just like everything else money makes the world go round and
round
and round just like the dancers on the floor. :))

Cheers,

Tom Wiggins
