Quantity vs Quality

Jennifer Choo Sue Chin | May 25, 2009

Are you line dancing “quantitatively” or “qualitatively”? hehe…

A “quantitative” line dancer would learn every/almost every new/popular dance published on the usual sites. The key word is “quantity“, so, “the more, the better“. When a “quantitative” dancer goes for parties, he/she would highlight the dancelist and count the total number of dances he/she knows and can dance to. To keep up, they have to learn more than 2-3 dances per week, sometimes even more… especially when parties are just around the corner. A “quantitative” dancer simply wants to add more dances to her collection and have lots of fun and be on the dance floor as much as possible. More often, when a dancer prioritized “quantity”, the “quality” is compromised due to time constraints.

On the other hand, a “qualitative” dancer won’t bother much (but to a certain extend) about the new dances released in the usual sites. The few good dances that he/she chose are executed with proper techniques and stylings. He/she would be dancing into the music and a pure joy to be watched, every movement is suited to the particular beats of the music (musicality). Many of these dancers wants to upgrade themselves by taking part in dance competitions and examinations. A lot of time is spent on practise to improve their steps, execution techniques and styling. Keywords are “Quality” and “How can I execute this step better and nicer?” And who said “qualitative” dancers can’t have fun? Dancing itself is fun, ain’t it?

And there are those who are somewhere in between these 2 ends of the spectrum. They try to learn as many GOOD dances as possible and execute the moves stylishly and properly. Keywords are, “Who said I can’t have both? I just need to spend more time dancing!”

So which dancer category do u fall into? Quantitative, Qualitative or Somewhere in between? Here’s a scale of 5 for you to choose from. Hopefully this can help dancers know their dancing styles better 🙂
