Ideally, cortinas are not played at practicas, to give dancers an atmosphere where they can continue practicing without interruption. I have decided to continue playing short cortinas but I will probably phase them out over the next few months, depending on how the regular attendees feel about it.<br /><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div id="title#2" class="ss-indiv-chart-title" style="margin-right: 0px;

It has helped me take a new approach to DJing this practica, as opposed to DJIng a milonga and I hope it will make this weekly event feel feel special and unique in our wonderful week of dancing. Thanks to your help and feedback, I will definitely be DJing this event differently, while continuing to strive to always play great music.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Joe<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6201597869832244464-466045701740366132?l=tuesdaypractica.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Joe Leonardohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03331229456768779771noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201597869832244464.post-50790283636694296332009-08-23T16:10:00.001-07:002009-08-23T16:11:37.089-07:00<div>Hello all,</div><div><br /></div><div>I've made a survey to gauge what music you as dancers would like to hear at the Tuesday practica. I have been brainstorming several ideas for how to DJ the event and I wanted to run them by you to see how you feel. It will be incredibly helpful for me if you rate the following ideas. I'll take a look at your responses and do my best to create a DJ format for the practica that will be great for the whole community.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><b>To fill out and submit the survey </b></span><a href="http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&amp;formkey=dGJXbTQ0LUlOVVJwWllMWUVfZ0tQOXc6MA.." target="new"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><b>CLICK HERE</b></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><b>. </b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:7;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:48px;"><b><br /></b></span></span></div><div>Thank you so much for taking the time to fill out this survey.
