Hi to All,
Can anyone remember when this 'Phasing' of routines became essential? It was just an idea of mine that it could have been the new professionals when working on their demonstration routines. Why didn't the giants of the past not do this? Quite a few years ago, talking to a recording band leader, he said that by playing the dance tracks in a 4 bar intro into sets of 16 bars really did increase the sales for popular bands. Talking about new professionals, I attended a lecture at Blackpool given by a new professional couple. He had the music put on and he attempted to call the group in. When the music started he just shouted, NOW! Of course, the group just started laughing, some attempted, some stood. In the end one of the group took the mike and called the group in with a preparatory count. Merry Christmas to all.
