Accents: No, not foreigners talking. In music, an accent is an emphasis placed on a particular note, as a result of its context. This can get quite complicated in the other divisions but for us, the social dancer, we just notice the recurring loud noise, that's it. It usually is on first count of the measure and determines when we make the first foot movement. Accents which do not correspond to the stressed beats of the prevailing meter are said to be syncopated. Yes, Latin accents can be a little more complicated than European. You want to get a little more complicated yet, no hu hu. do it.
Acoustics: Acoustic music comprises music that is used solely or primarily in instruments which produce sound through entirely acoustic means, as opposed to electric or electronic means, - the old time bands. The term "acoustic music" appeared after the advent of electric instruments, such as the electric guitar, electric violin, electric organ and synthesizer. Performers of acoustic music often increase the volume of their output using electronic amplifiers. Keeping noise levels down at venues may not be just about keeping the peace with the neighbors.
Employers, event-organizers and self-employed people have responsibilities to assess and control the risk of hearing damage. However, many of these amplification devices remain separate from the amplified instrument and reproduce its natural sound accurately. Sometimes a microphone is placed in front of an acoustic instrument which is then wired up to an amplifier. For the social dancer, it merely has to do with hearing the sound comfortably. Also vaguely the qualities of the room that have to do with how clearly the sounds can be heard or transmitted. The more comfortable the music, the more comfortable the dance. And, lucky, our DJs do an excellent job of doing their thing.
"Social dancers believe that nobody cares if you can’t dance well.
Just get up, join the crowd on the dance floor and dance."

How many social dancers does it take to change a light bulb?
Five!...Six!...Seven!...Eight!

each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world
is all gates, all opportunities, keep your eyes open."
