Which is best Old or New

Are the older dance better than now?

I would like to start a debate about whether  new dances are better than the old ones, what do you think about restarts, and why the dances have so many. There could be two reason for this, one is the music we dance to now is more modern pop orientated  even the country western music is more pop than it was, and so the music is more complicated.So the choreographer of the dance has to reset the count and beat to make sure the tempo say on track, so they just start the dance at a certain point in the dance, this is how  you get anything from 1 to 3 restarts in a dance. 

The other reason is more controversial, Line Dancing is now world  wide, you have 40 to 50  new dances coming out every week. this will lead to horrible dances being released on the internet. With the lack of any regulations about how you controls the standard of new dances, well then may the only way for the standard of line dancing to go is down, to compare  for instances Cotton Eye Joe. which is an old dance That's Where I'll Be. a really new dance but much harder to get right. Tell your thoughts don't be shy let rip. let the debate start here. I have been testing how many words can you type in the comment box well the answer is hundreds so don't hold back and will put the best comments on the next blog.
