Some of the djs in the United States have begun reducing the length of tandas to three songs to promote/enable more rotation between partners. I'm interested in opinions about the desirablity of such an approach.
that's where it is heading in Buffalo - I also "play out" the cortina if I notice that a large number of dancers are new, esp. if I know that they are already salsa, swing, etc. dancers. I understand that, to some, it's heretical, but between tandas I play one song that seems appropriate to this group of dancers. We are still a growing community looking for new dancers, so I don't want someone to come to try it and then go home thinking "all I did was watch." I would much rather they went home saying, "I watched a lot before I tried it - and I had a great time because there were a couple of songs I knew." Some of the tango dancers don't like it - and some like the chance to do some other dances they know. In other communities I have noticed that an entire tanda of salsa is played later in the evening and everyone seems to enjoy that - ________________________________________________________________________ More new features than ever.
