Music Recommendations
We frequently get asked about music recommendations, either for practicing dancing or general listening, and we're looking for a good way to regularly share our recommendations that fits with our new website. In the meantime, enjoy some of these music links from past newsletters.
Favorite Salsa Songs. Some of our very best favorites.
Traditional Waltz. Lots of violins and a bit of Engelbert Humperdinck.
Modern Waltz. Not your mother's waltz! Well unless your mom is into Journey, the Eagles, and Ryan Adams. If so, then this is definitely your mother's waltz!
West Coast Swing - Traditional R&B. Lots of traditional blues music.
West Coast Swing - Contemporary. All kinds of current music including Ciara, Lady Gaga, and Justin Timberlake. Lots of good stuff.
More West Coast Swing. One unique aspect of this dance is the wide variety of music it encompasses.
East Coast Single and Double Swing. These types of swing are used for very fast, distinctive, 4/4 time music.
Milonga Mix. Milonga music originates from Uruguay and Argentina. Think folk guitar music with rhythms from Africa.
Hustle Mix. Classic vintage disco music.
Rumba Songs. Inspired by the most romantic of Latin dances.
Viennese Waltz Mix. Five songs from various genres that will whet your appetite for this fast and furious waltz.
