Can You Get Into WCS With Country Music

I personally have a hard time getting into a WCS with C&W music. Most of it has a tempo around the beat count of Shania Twain's "I Feel Like A Woman" or what's his name (BRC)-"Achey Breaky Heart."

Although I could if forced to dance to this music, but my best WCS dancing is with very slow, sexy or sligthly up-tempo funk stuff!

How about you?
 
Sorry to you C&W music fans out there, but that's one of several things that kept me away from WCS swing for a looooong time! To each their own, and if you like it, that's great... but I really, really don’t like C&W music so have a very difficult time (at best :oops: ) really dancing to it.

To make it even worse . . . could you imagine doing salsa to Garth Brooks???? :shock:

Have no fear . . . I don't think I've ever seen it . . . salsa to C&W that is, not a cliff . . .
 
I'm with you...C&W is too bouncy. Our C&W djs play several "real" WCS's during the night so us swing dancers can get our fix. :)

Why would C&W music keep you away from WC? It's totally different music.
 
Country pop music has such a simple structure compared to good blues. Few breaks or accents to work with. Not surprising it's correlated with the spin/wrap/duck-heavy country WCS style of a few years ago.
 
With much of the new crossover music in C&W these days, I'd be a betting man and say that it won't be long before there is barely a noticeable difference between R&R and C&W.
 
With some songs I hear on the country station, I can't help but wonder how exactly they're classified as country!
