I am running a blog of good modern music that can be danced to. It's all organized by dance and I update with new stuff weekly. Ill also be expanding into a few more social and swing dances as my personal playlists grow, I currently have all of the major ballroom dances and then some. Enjoy!

Thank you. I have gotten some good ideas from your blog.

I'm planning my wedding first dance and your blog has been an amazing help!! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!

Hi! I'm sure this situation has arisen before and the question has been asked and answered, but I haven't found it. We go out to various lounges that play all types of dance music: ballroom style, "Freestyle" and "unrecognizable." So, here's my question: the band plays a song and we recognize the song but not the dance associated with it. Last night, the band played "The Look of Love" and "Dream, Dream, Dream" and we sat both of them out. Where can I go to cross reference music to dance?
Thanks, Roy

What your waiting for" by Gwen Stefani would be good for a paso double.
Don't Cha by the PDC would be good for a cha cha.

Senorita by Justin Timberlake is a good cha cha for learning to because its quite slow and controlled

Justin Timberlake's "sexyback"
Futuresex/lovesounds are great cha chas.
