    Great thread! Crowd reading is an important skill. The number one skill I’ve learned is to always keep my eyes on the crowd, not the laptop or mixer. They love it when you look at them and do small gestures.

    Another skill is to notice a certain group of people (preferably girls) who are dancing to the current tune, make sure the next cued track is similar or better!

    Generally, people know a limited number of dances, and will (try to) fit the dances they know to certain music. Seeing shuffling/jumpstyle is an obvious one. Seeing running man/ pop lock/ hip-centric dancing usually has me get ready for some flo rida or other bullshit like that. Something with a bounce will usually tell me to head house/prog house. While I’ve never seen a robot in the club, other times I have and they usually get the complextro/dubstep track.
