5 out of 5 stars Great for dance practice   June 18, 2008
Excellent variety of foxtrots and waltzes for dancing practice. All waltzes are grouped together at the end of the recording. Great value.


5 out of 5 stars Great foxtrots & waltzes for practice!   December 22, 2007
My wife & I have just completed beginning ballroom classes, and this is one of the CD's we have been using to practice. There are plenty of great foxtrots & waltzes with varied tempos to practice with.

The Manhattan Transfer, Mel Torme, Andy Williams, Henry Mancini, Percy Faith, Englebert Humperdinck, and others have tunes that you won't be able to get out of your heads, that will keep you dancing! (Sometimes, I lie in bed at night hearing the music in my head, and picturing dance moves. I must be in need of help ...)

Also see "The Fabulous Ballroom Collection: The Arthur Murray Orchestras", to supplement your repetoire with some Latin dances! Enjoy!!



5 out of 5 stars Coming back to dreamland   August 23, 2007
The music enchanted our living room, my husband left his tool on the side and i did the same with the broom, and we started to dance. Great music to remember and enjoy.


5 out of 5 stars Dancing and Listening   April 5, 2007
This is great for dancing and listening. It will put you in a good mood.


4 out of 5 stars Great dance music, with some quirks   April 2, 2007
 14 out of 14 found this review helpful

I enjoy this disc, and it is great fun to dance to. Most of the tempos are appropriate, but there are some interesting quirks here that other reviewers have not mentioned. I list these after the title, duration, and suggested dance:

There will never be another you, 2:55, Foxtrot
I've heard that song before, 3:02, Foxtrot
In a mellow tone, 3:16, Foxtrot
I let a song go out of my heart, 2:02, Foxtrot
Teach me tonight, 3:01, Foxtrot (Oh! It begs to be danced as a West Coast Swing)
On a little street in Singapore, 3:20, Foxtrot
Mister Sandman, 2:40, Foxtrot (Hey, this is perhaps 48 bpm, so dance it as a Quickstep)
Sunny side of the street, 2:43, Foxtrot (Again, it works great as a West Coast Swing)
Crazy World Theme, 2:10, Waltz
Song from Moulin Rouge, 3:22, Waltz
Put your dreams away, 2:39, Waltz
Charade, 2:34, Waltz
Tenderly, 2:56, Waltz (A beautiful recording, but it is somewhat difficult to hear the beat)
In a perfect world, 4:18, Waltz (Very slow at the start, perhaps 28 bpm?)
Bicyclettes de Belsize, Les, 3:10, Waltz
