Interesting. I was in Seattle a few weeks ago and went to see Larry Heard. Hardly anyone was dancing then too (compared to how it would be in the UK....I mean it was Larry Heard!).

Yeah, I always thought dance music was for dancing to! :) A friend of mine who DJed a few times in the states but is based in the UK told me how when he played a few places in the states nobody would dance. They all liked the music, clapped at the end or whatever, but kept perfectly still despite the dance music he was playing. With techno/electro/house I usually think it's the DJs job to get people to dance. Must be a states thing, check out Cylob's "rave photo" page, he also talks about how nobody in the US dances at gig: http://www.cylob.com/rave_photos/ravephotos.html
