My theory about music is that it should have a good beat so that you can dance to it. I'd like to see anyone do this to Chopin.

Respect my lack of authority.
Well, almost.

The problem with most classical music is that there aren't enough banjos.

Chopin wrote polonaises, mazurkas, waltzes which are actually dance music.
Also there are some examples of dancing to Chopin's music; I would rather not do it. While Chopin's music is based on dances, it's actually far more than dance music.
Try to dance to "Ignaz Friedman plays Chopin Waltz in D flat op.64 n.1" (hint: very fast for an actual walse).
Or try to dance to "Mazurkas, Op. 63: Mazurka No. 41 in C-Sharp Minor, Op. 63, No. 3" (hint: uses extensive rubato = changes in tempo).
So, you might be right.
Beethoven has got a refresher! There's an opinion among some musicians that if Beethoven lived now, he would be a rock musician. However, this music example shows that Disco / R&B might also be the case. BTW, Clavinet part adds some funky touch to this, which I find cool.
