Squeak that will never happen....millions "love to dance", to foxtrot, rumba, chacha, merengue, waltz, polka, tango, swing, will never die out & will never change in years to come....
it's not going anywhere.........not saying there isn't a place for the newer styles you enjoy...but they are mostly DJ driven & loop orientated, created by Workstations, samples, synths, & drum machines.....basically theres no reason to use an arranger for these it's just the way it is.
