Blue Tango, Jealousie, Hernando's Hidaway, and an original we call "Astoria". The Scott Joplin tune "Solace" is in our book, but we play that more...
Hi all: I have a ballroom dance band. It has an instrumentation similar to a swing band, but smaller. We play the full range of ballroom dance...
On the social dancing side... When we play dances, we sort of sneak in rock tunes that are easy to dance to, then start making it slowly trickier....
Good luck, as the piece is in 5/4. The Habenera from Bizet's "Carmen" would make a good tango. The fugue portion from the 4th movement of...
I am looking for an instructor in the Cincinnati, Ohio area who is looking for a new challenge. We are a band that specializes in ballroom dance...
I might suggest instead of hardboard, use one of those polystyrene balls available at the craft shops.
Is it possible to waltz with a two-count instead of a three-count?
I like to challenge the dancers. I've discoved many pop rock hits of the 60's and 70's make good chachas by just adding a little "thumthum" on...
Most rock, country, and funk bands learn their songs by ear off the records. I find the weakness with that is that they take away their own...
When I started putting together a ballroom dance band last year, these were the very things that were pointed out to me. Fortunately, I was able...
I've found the local DanceUSA website to be useful. Also, I'll go to the other dance studios in town with posters and flyers for them to put up...
You should be able to hear MIDI files on a number of players, including RealPlayer and Microsoft Media Player. Oddly, a number of controls...
It depends. If the MIDI was performed in real time, the notes sort of blur together messily with a bunch of strange time staffs. But if the...

The piano player's left hand. I wrote the bass part to line up with the 'on the beat' notes, and it seems to work out well. Most of the...
I'm in Southwest Ohio. The only line dancing I've seen is when we've played inside dance studios, and there the line dancing is done to salsa.
Oh, absolutely. We play "Under the Boardwalk" closer to the Drifters' version, and folks seem to like it as a rumba. And we do "Route 66" as a...
"Tennessee Waltz" would be good, but I'm not sure if "Crazy" or "San Antonio Rose" would work. Unless it's a nightclub, folks around here don't...
I remember the songs, but what dance goes with them? That would make a good foxtrot, swing, or perhaps two-step. :eek::o:o:o:o
Kewl, We already have "Could I Have This Dance", and "Goodnight Irene" in our book. I think the trick is that we've been playing all of our...
