Dynamite Dancefloor Etiquette

August 7th 2006 10:04
I went to a top night on Saturday night called Dynamite! It was a launch for a CD on Soul Jazz Records called Studio One Soul 2. I managed to score a CD for free, which I will review tomorrow. The night started off slow – we got to the Bright Up Bar around 10 pm and there was very few people. We considered coming back later, but the sounds were too good. This night had very little promotion outside Surry Hills and when I was chatting to one of the organisers, he said he’d just gotten back from four years in London. I wasn’t expecting many people with the slow start, but I was enjoying having a dance, even if many others bar our crew were.


Slowly (like me getting to the point of this lecture – and it is a lecture*) people started to filter into the bar. I will admit the bar isn’t especially big, but before it was full people started to move onto the dancefloor to stand. Notice the word stand not dance! When there is a visible change between dancefloor and carpeted floor, do not stand on the dancefloor particularly when there are people dancing on it. I know there is often room on the dancefloor, but that space has been set aside for busting a move. If you aren’t a dancer, steer well clear please.

That was the main point of this vent. I probably should have stuck to the positives of this night because it was a top do. Although there were roots and dancehall thrown into the mix, ska, rocksteady and reggae had a very good showing and I left with a big smile on my face. It deserved the amount of punters that showed up and I look forward to the next night this crew put on.
