Last week I had a craving for club dancing. So I called my girlfriends, picked a club and we were soon ready to go. It started fun and strange half drunk guys didn't scare me. Why would I? I had my four girls with me. Yes, it was a girls' night out and it was great. It is always fun to go in large groups just because there are people to back you up and get out of an unwanted situation. I do admit, I missed my sister that night. Nobody else can party quit like she does.
So we went to Trinity, downtown Seattle. It's a night club that has three floors so everybody can enjoy music they like. Since I don't drink alcohol and have a wonderful boyfriend the only two things I could do were chat in the restroom and dance. I did both.
I saw a local Trinity guy Roman who always gets drinks for girls. Just saying, if you ladies are interested he's always there It's fascinating how everything has its own life, own story to tell.
After a few hours of dancing to house music and a little bit of hiphop we finally decided to go home.
When leaving I thought of those two dance styles. I remember this phrase from one of the dance books, "While you control your body during hip-hop in house dancing the music controls you".
real disco started with Club 54. Night clubs were masters of night since 19th century I'd say.
The oldest DJ I remember is Billy Carroll. He was a house DJ four nights a week for the popular club called Down Under back in 1976, where straight black people danced. Friday and Saturday nights, admittance was for members. Whites and Latinos went to the nearby Copacabana except on Sunday night, which was for black people. They shared the same owner and managed to avoid competing for particular patrons. That's when house music started.
If you want to experience real house music, go to Europe and go to Kazantip. It's a festival of parties that lasts for four weeks on Crimean island. All the best house DJs attend this festival. I'd have to write about Kazantip sometime soon. May House Music live!
