plenty of dancing in new york. maybe your friend's a crap dj and they were
just clapping to be polite. ;) that's a joke.
should try australia - they won't even clap.

RE: (313) my morning mischief
So true, why don't people dance at gigs in Detroit
A couple months ago I was at a gig in detroit and
I was dancing to the music and people looked at me
Like I didn't belong there, when I feel the music I dance.
Maybe because I'm an oldhead.

Yeah, I always thought dance music was for dancing to! :)
A friend of mine who DJed a few times in the states but is based in the UK
told me how when he played a few places in the states nobody would dance.
They all liked the music, clapped at the end or whatever, but kept
perfectly
still despite the dance music he was playing.
With techno/electro/house I usually think it's the DJs job to get people to
dance.
I suppose if it's weird chin strokey musique concrete or whatever then it's
more acceptable to stand around and have a bit of a shoe gaze (I always try
to have a dance anyway, if I like what's being played).
Must be a states thing, check out Cylob's "rave photo" page, he also talks
about how nobody in the US dances at gig:
