Could a Eurobeat/parapara club outside of Japan stay open?

[Shawaazu]

That's right! My friend told me that extacy is the prefered drug of ravers

Never gonna give up, baby
Looking up my body, feel my EXTASY
And tell me your emotion
Never gonna give up, baby
Dancing with my music take my EXTASY
And give up your affection

A rave may not be "ideal" because after all... a Para Para event would be ideal, but your not going to get a para para event in the US so we are talking about what is realistic.

I don't like the premise that the only valid way to dance to Eurobeat is Para Para. Ravers are creative dancers. They enjoy dancing to hyper fast hard electronic music and given Eurobeat I bet they will adjust to it quickly. If I spin Eurobeat at a rave I will let you know how they react to it.

And here's my friend Auratika Spinning Happy Hardcore at the type of rave I would spin at, with the people I would spin for. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVLiYLrzorE

That's now US Ravers dance to fast music, and I think they will adjust to the 150-165 BPM's of Eurobeat fine.

Um... that won't work for all songs, especially from 2nd boom and Norma Sheffield.

Heh, I think your going to have to be more specific. Name a song you think ravers "can't" dance to, and I (a raver) will try to dance to it and see if I agree with you .

I'm listening to Norma Sheffield: Suddenly You, Wanna Feel You, Here It Comes The Sun, Touch Me Touch me and they are all 4/4 kick songs (except Touch me Touch me which is so old anyone can dance to it.)

Well it's just my opinion, but I think doing rave to any of those songs is just not fun. Examples of bad songs to rave to would be songs like Running to the Night or Latin Lover.

For Norma I was thinking more like Sweet Heart and Love Collision.

R U guys actually putting Rave and Norma's Aishu style Eurobeat in the same sentence?

They must be on extacy

Pumping Terminator moves are the solution!
This is how you set trends!

I just wanted to follow up this thread and say that February 19th in Massachusetts, U.S. I'm doing a test and going to see if people at a rave dance to Eurobeat or stand around staring at me blankly. The test will be 1 hour long.

I think there may be some confusion about what "doing rave" or "rave dancing" actually is. There is no specific "rave dance" there are however various styles of dancing that have evolved over the years out of styles of music, and they (used to) differ greatly from region to region. Ravers in the UK dance completely different than ravers in the US to the same songs for example.

If the music is enjoyable, people will figure out how to dance to it regardless of what is considered "the proper way" in other parts of the world.

It is believed that this new style from Newfield's current profile country, Kazahstan, will conquer all of Asia. He got to sign the guy up..

Omg lol...every time you post one of these videos I die laughing.

[wolftickets1969]

Heck no. Para para is as dead as disco, and Eurobeat itself has one foot in the grave. Euro-beating a dead horse, get it?

I've played eurobeat at dance gatherings before, and a common response is something along the lines of "WHAT IS THIS I CAN'T SHUFFLE TO IT" Most of the people around here seem to assume shuffling is the only way to dance to electronic music, and eurobeat is less driving, and also less bassy than your average hardcore rave-type track.
