Dj's Love to Dance or Not??

Dj’s Love to Dance or Not??

One of, if not the biggest reasons that I desire to Dj is because I Love to Dance and I wish everyone could experience the best on the floor. How many of you dj’s feel the same? Love to Dance or not?

Love to dance !

+1 definetely

If you dont like to dance I would say that you are most likely will fail as a DJ.

Love to move, wouldnt call it dancing hahaha

Wobbling swaying stomping maybe :slight_smile:

a dj, just as well as a “normal” instrumentalists, you need a basic feeling of rhythm, which of course can be expressed in body language :wink:
if you call it dancin’ or not doesn’t really matter.. i’m starting out as a dj, cause when i hear good music of a special kind, i just have to move..

I love to dance, but I dj alot because I know I’m not great at dancing. Always doing my thing behind the laptop though. can’t be a robot dj unless your daft punk of course.

I hate to post ads but NZ has some good ones atm. I’m like the 4th best dancer as described here,

They one thing that catches me off guard and when im mixing is that im dancing around like a fool and i suddenly think “Fack the record is ending”

+1 Love To Dance.

i just love to express my emotions in the art of dancing

screw girls tonight…i just wana dance

I still go out to clubs with the express intent of dancing. Especially being I’m in a happy relationship, I have a lot less pressure.

Hell, I rarely drink these days. I just show up and rock the fuck out.

Can’t know what makes people move if you don’t know what moves you.

AMEN to that.:slight_smile:

Yea this is similar with me being in a relationship, although I still drink a bit, and still dance badly lol.

Excellent question, I always think about this. Also I must confess that I was re-reading a book called Djing for dummies (aka djing for alien2k ) :stuck_out_tongue: and I read the following on page 139:

“I remember one night when Alex P did a guest
spot at a club I had a residency at, and the other
DJ (Dave Armstrong) and I were left wandering
through the club, feeling a bit bored whilst waiting
for him to finish (because remember, DJs
don’t dance).”

To be honest I felt quite dissapointed with this quote about Djs not dancing. I bealive as a dj I was born on the dance floor and that is why I know what to do to keep it going. I think that all djs should dance and absorve the enrgy and learn from being on the other side.
Here is a good example, this is a video of Ricardo Villalobos dancing at fabric

Very cool responses!! This is exactly what I was hoping to hear.. Now you’ve all got me fired up, I might have to take off work tonight without notice so I can go break it down tonight.
Thanks ;-j
