Sample input

Event phase: Peak dance set
Current floor snapshot: I dropped from around 40 dancers to 14 over three songs. Many guests moved to the photo booth and bar.
Recent music run: A 2000s singalong worked, then two harder EDM requests thinned the floor. A current pop remix didn't reverse it.
Crowd map: Mostly ages 25 to 55. Disco, funk, and 2000s hip-hop worked earlier.
Guardrails: Clean edits, no line dances, no country, and no explicit versions.
System status: Stable after a full check
Host and venue context: The venue raised the lights and opened the photo booth. Ten minutes remain before the next formality.
Music options: Clean versions of "This Is How We Do It," "Crazy in Love," and "Yeah!"
Recovery window: 10 minutes
