Ah, the times we're in. People expect to be entertained as if they 
were sitting in their reserved seats at a [...] instead of dancing 
their butts off.
The ante has been raised by the DJ guys with the mega-buck light 
shows, and some who have their own dancers/groupies.What to do?
Consider your venue man.Is it a CLUB where people go to dance!?
They (the club)should have/provide adequate "distractions" for the 
bench-warmers and cruisers.Lights/lazers/smoke/disco-balls etc.

"clubbers" find their groove,and appreciate the groovemeisters ability
to get them there,keep them there, and move them into a gelatinous 
mass of rhythmic euphoria they've never experienced, or have 
forgotten...

There are more gearheads than ever!!

Play with your toys man..

Your audience will find you.

best,
