- Dances: A list of all of the dances that are users have associated with this song (on the left) and dances that we’ve inferred through the tempo of the song combined with user voting (on the right). In this case, Charlie has voted for this song as “East Coast Swing” as indicated by the dark upward triangle next to the name of the dance. You can vote up or down by clicking on the arrows. More info on voting is available on the Dance Tag page.
- Dances also have a tag section that works just like the Song tag Section (C) – these tags are intended to be specific to the intersection of the Song and the Dance style. So, for instance your might have a song tag that state the tempo is 4/4, but a dance tag of slow – which would be slow for east coast swing, but might be a normal tempo for west coast swing.
