Dance + Performance = Perfect Combo

[Aubrianna Merry]

So, I've been playing sax for a relatively long time, and as soon as I was introduced to playing Jazz music, I was introduced to the art of Swing Dance. So, sometimes when I play, I just want to get up and dance!! Does it bug anyone else that they can't dance and play at the same time?

Just wondering is all.

It definitely bugs me!! I would love to get up and do the disco!!!! I feel your pain.

 

[dubrosa22]

Do you play with your feet?

So dance while you play. Might annoy the MD, though.

But not like the poser in the vid that Dubrosa posted, that's crass...

 

[dubrosa22]

He's trying to dance while he's trying to play...
Nothin' wrong with trying - he just happens to be failing at both!

Watch it again, his fingers never move..))

so the sax is a prosthesis?

 

[dubrosa22]

Hehehe! It's a wonder that they bothered to go to the trouble of putting a mic on the horn.
Adding pointless verisimilitude?

He seems to be able to play with the horn about 18 inches from his mouth. That's real breath control!

I dance while i play, i tapdance to the beat but only one footed until i get better, i reckon in 6 months i'll be able to do a jig ))

 

[Aubrianna Merry]

Useful technique if you need the loo mid set in my opinion.
