yea, annoying people do tend mess up the flow. As far as getting people dancing, its all trial and error. Make sure your sets are tight, play them for as many people as possible, note people's reactions, tweak tour sets as necessary.Originally Posted by Lxj
Hey guys,
Just finished a small house party gig last night. There were around 30-40 people. That night I was focusing on reading the crowd and trying to build it up the mood so people would start dancing. I only got people up and into it for maybe a few minutes when I played a super popular song. During that time people kept coming up and looking over my gear and requesting so it was difficult to keep micromanage the listeners and the people near me. Any tips for the future in getting people into the groove? How do you tend to the people near you while continuing to do your job?
