Slow dance

General Admission Blues (also: Slow, clip Blues, Engtanz or slide, in Austria often Schleicher respectively in Vienna also L' amour - Hatscher or Hosentürlreiber ) is a slow dance of the couple makes at parties and even with organized dances close physical contact.

Floor Blues is correspondingly slower pop music, especially ballads (eg Hey Jew, Richard Sanderson Reality or Hello ), danced. The sequence of steps is a simple left-right, but can completely come to a halt. In this case, the standing blues nothing more than cuddling or kissing while standing.

When standing Blues lighting the dance floor will become dark, to allow couples the necessary intimacy.

The Blues is standing as a kind of continuation of the dance call a socially accepted form, asking someone to physical closeness or intimacy. Therefore dances are often periodically interrupted by two or three standing blues to pave couples who have met each other in the meantime an easy way to intimacy.

Even nightclubs broke earlier the fast dance music on a regular basis by a standing blues. In techno or hip hop clubs but this concept is no longer present, so that standing blues in Germany are mainly confined to public dances at Carnival or at fairs. Nightclubs in other countries like France, however, continue to play standing Blues (French danser un slow).
