At least five years of ballroom dancing, and preferably five years of tap or ballet.

three and a half.

[netr0ute → the_cat_kittles]

Although this might be true, it's pretty irrelevant if the kind of music you're analyzing didn't exist a few decades ago.

[kdfjgbdfkjgb → netr0ute]

can you give an example of such music?

Modern bachata music didn't exist until 1994, so there's that.
