People who are generally closer to each other (either they come in couples or are pretty good friends) will dance to slow songs more likely than a bunch of people who come together for the first time. I speak from experience. Once, we (I and some college friends of mine) had a bunch of people who all knew each other well. We played nothing *but* slow songs for over an hour. Tried it again with people who didn't know each other so well and it bombed. -- Baby tie your hair back in a long white bow ... Meet me in the field, behind the dynamo ...
