Musical programming is the intentional sequencing of songs to create a meaningful experience over time. It combines observation, planning, and decision-making to guide dancers through an emotional and physical journey.
Song Selection
Song selection is the process of choosing the next piece of music. Great song selection considers the current dancefloor, the previous songs, and the direction you want the experience to take.
Sequencing
Sequencing is arranging songs in an order that creates progression and coherence. The relationship between songs is often more important than the individual songs themselves.
