HOUSE

House music is one of the most popular forms of electronic music around the world.
House music is a fusion of different kind music like Disco and R&B. It came from disco music. House music is a genre mostly played in clubs. It is a kind of up tempo music that is good for dancing with 118 to 135 bpm. The early years of house music
slower tempo. The common element of house music is a prominent kick drum on every beat usually generated by drum machine or sampler. Some people assumed it is not very good for a person’s health because of the relationship between the rhythm and the speed of the heart’s beat; in fact it's actually quite dangerous.

The first time I knew house music was at the “End Up Club” with three of my friends. It was on Thursday in August. At first we were in City Night Club that was the hip hop club. We stayed at City Night Club, but none of us like the music that they played. We decided to go to another club. End up is near City Night so we moved to that club. When we arrived to at that club, we felt so happy because of the music. The music was house music. The rhythm was so fast and that time one young white guy brought his own drum and played on the stage too. His drum beat really matched the house music .The club dancing stage was not too large. At that time, there were only a few people dancing on the stage. All of them were dancing in their own dancing styles. When I heard the music, my body followed the music beat. My head started shaking without actually knowing what I was doing. At first, I didn’t want to go and dance on the stage. I was sitting on chair, looking at other people dancing and listening to music. After about thirty minutes, I went to the dance floor and started to dance.

When I started dancing, I didn’t have any thoughts in my mind. I only heard the music and it was pulling my mind away. I couldn’t think of anything. My mind was following to the music and my body was also dancing without my control. I felt like the music alone was controlling all my movements . My heart was beating so fast and it matched with the beat of the music. When the music was fast and high, I was also dancing so fast and my heart beat so fast. When the music was slow, my movement became slow. Even when I felt so tired, I could not stop dancing. It really made my stress and worry go away and I felt so happy. I became interested in house music because of its dancing style. I started to find out how to dance and looked for online dance videos. I also read the house dancing forum. In one forum, one user said, “to learn how to dance, you must dedicate yourself and practice whenever you can.”. I also learned from people at the club by watching their styles and moves;, it gave me some ideas and ways to go into different moves. In this dancing style, the hardest and most important thing is footwork, including the foot position and action. For me,footwork is the most difficult to learn. Everyone has their own style and their own footwork. It is also depends on the kind of music and its beat.
After I learned all of these things, it made connected me more connectible with the people in the clubs. Last time, I went to the “1015 Club” and it had four dancing places with different music. The main stage was techno music and the other stages were hip hop and jungle. At that time, I found out that the lighting is also the key that is controlling the people.That time the music also controlling controlled my mind and I didn’t know how the time passed. I just only heard the music. I didn’t even know the time. I started noticing the time when the club was closed. It was arrived to the 5.00 am. In the club, some of the young people formed a group and danced one by one to show their ability. It was really fun to dance like that. We can learn from each other. All the people in the group welcomed us to participate with them.

The house music makes me more connectible with people. I feel happy not only I found out what I like but also it makes me to forget all my stress and tension. I found out that it serves me as not just a single entertainment but something that I can explore and study more. Everyone has a unique thinking style and hobbies. My thinking on house music will not be the same as anyone else.However, this is one of the unique qualities of house music because it can accept everyone's ideas and styles. I like the sense of being free unlimited and boundless lifestyle and that
house music fits perfectly. That’s why house music became my favorite kind of music. I can say that the House Music is an endless journey for me to explore in the future.
