One of the eternally glorious moments on a crowded dance floor occurs when the music suddenly does something weird. A song can contain a major tempo shift, speeding up or slowing down unexpectedly part-way through.

Psychotic Reaction is an interesting track to dance rock 'n' roll to. It has some very awkward up-tempo switches at several points.�You wouldn't ordinarily include it in a playlist for dancing unless you want to catch people out wondering what to do when the music throws them.

Oh, Boy! Did Roy Orbison get it wrong? Buddy Holly would have rolled over in his grave while Beethoven, contrary to the lyrics of Chuck Berry's classic song, rests peacefully in his, secure in the knowledge that his music has withstood the test of time. Rock 'n' Roll die? That'll be the day!

Dancing Rock n Roll is a great family activity. Children love music just as much as adults and they enjoy dancing if they're given the opportunity to learn. Dance can help them to appreciate the benefits of structured activity. Since it's also very much a visual art, it can help them to develop self esteem as well as learning constructive social skills within a defined community.

Wildly flinging your weight around in a neatly controlled fashion is a contradiction in terms. Doing it in in time to music is a forlorn hope for most people. Every expert in every form of physical pursuit from origami through to heavyweight wrestling will tell you that it is how you use your body that counts, not simply how much force you apply.

Every man knows that if you turn your back on a pretty lady she might be gone in a flash. If you should happen to drop her hand you might never grasp it again. But there's good news! The drop spin. If you can perform this simple, stylish dance move well, the lady won't be offended. Instead, she'll stick around for more!

Dance with her? No way! She'd rip the wings off a jumbo jet! Is he dancing with that woman or is he trying to beat her up? As light as a ton of bricks.

I'm not sexist, but as a man I love to be in charge of skirts. Fortunately, I know some ladies who are not unhappy about that.
