WEFT plays Jazz in the mornings and Blues in the afternoons (12-3
I think) and on saturdays they play some fine Latin music (Salsa
and meringue) as well as some rhythmic African music to which one
may also dance the salsa and the meringue... So keep your ears
and the radio tuned...
On an off-shoot, in response to John Hayes' message and the one
preceding on the same subject - Sure, go to the swing convention
and enjoy. It is truly fun I gather, though I have never been to
one. But please, do not believe for a moment that ballroom dancers
dance over the music rather than to it. It is a thoughtless and
an unsophisticated remark and completely disrespectful of a lot of
ballroom dancers who try very hard and succeed at dancing to the
music. I agree the swing dancers learn to do that quite early,
but the music is geared towards breaks, unlike ballroom music which
is often smooth flowing.
I have been disrespectful of other forms of dance before and I have
learnt that I was wrong. There is charm in every form of dancing - which is why I (try to) dance to country music, salsa/meringue ,
swing and ballroom music and found that the experience and enjoyment
derived from dancing transcends genres of music. Please keep this
mind whilst you enjoy whatever form of dancing it is that you fancy.
Thank you for listening, now we will rejoin some "mighty" fine
blues music on WEFT 90.1...:)
Adios.
Sriram.
