...Hmm, I suppose there is a case for both points. <br /><br />I do see people dancing at gigs, but it most likely depends on the venue and the crowd (whether it is more of a dancer crowd or dance focussed night). I can understand that people go to watch the band, otherwise you could just be listening to a record, and what's the point of actually going to 'see' them live. But at the same time, I think bands like it when the crowd enjoys their music enough to get up and show their appreciation by dancing along. <br /><br />It is different when you go to see a band or musician, say, for example if you went to see an artist like Michael Jackson who would put on a whole show with his own choreographed performance, but I think in this kind of situation it's fun to throw in a bit obvious recognition for their music's ability to get your toes tapping to the point where you cannot resist dancing along. In fact, I often go to shows here where the bands encourage the audience to get up and shake it!Incendiary Blondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09528321687210279974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657621815107619381.post-79192510002183053932010-07-22T00:43:30.900+01:002010-07-22T00:43:30.900+01:00It sounds like it was an excellent show. However I...It sounds like it was an excellent show. However I can't imagine hearing live music and NOT dancing. Granted each culture has its own traditions and ideas of ettiquette, I just personally feel that dancing to a band is a compliment, especially when it is done with abandon. A certain synergy is achieved when dancers and musicians feed off of each others energy. I can't think of a better way to pay homage to a bands musicianship than to bop, jive, lindy, swing to one's content.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07433427703858579427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657621815107619381.post-60972920467058306272010-07-21T16:18:44.244+01:002010-07-21T16:18:44.244+01:00LOL, I bet that was Sally Turner who tucked the tr...LOL, I bet that was Sally Turner who tucked the trousers in! <br /><br />I used to date a musician who was from London, and he once told me that in Europe, NOBODY dances during a performance of a band. They believe it is rude to do that. You go see a band perform to watch them perform. You dance to records in England, often played before and after the band plays.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02989878350742085698noreply@blogger.com
