Ballroom Dancing - The Essential Collection

Search: The Lady Is A Tramp (Quickstep)
by: Various Artists

Release Date February 19, 2007
One of television's beneficial side-effects is to generate audience participation outside the box, not least in the field of ballroom dancing. On the heels of this resurgence has come the demand for suitable music, and the latest CD label to take the floor is Avid, with this quite splendid panorama of terpsichorean temptation. It covers almost every ballroom form, and a wide range of compositions and styles, but all focussed on the primary requirement for a strict tempo.

Although aimed specifically at aspiring hoofers and their teachers, this compilation should have a wider appeal. The ballroom orchestras aimed for purity of tone, and this is particularly noticeable on the tracks by Maxwell Stewart's Ballroom Orchestra, where the ... Read More:

Strictly Come Dancing

Search: The Lady Is A Tramp (Quickstep)
by: Bruce Forsyth, Tommy Blaize, Laurie Holloway Orchestra, Carol Kenyon, Various Artists

Release Date November 15, 2004
I was disappointed by this CD. It's just as well that it is very reasonably priced, or I would be awarding two stars. I assume that the idea is to provide a compilation of tunes ideally suited to Ballroom or Latin dancing, in versions that take into account the particular needs of dancers. Instead, we have some fairly ordinary versions of the tunes, sometimes at rather strange tempos. For example, Norah Jones' version of "Come away with me" is equally good as a waltz, and musically more satisfying than Track 7. Similarly "Smooth"; the Santana/Rob Thomas version is an excellent Cha Cha and cannot be bettered. This one won't be spending much time in the CD player. I wish I'd simply downloaded the originals from iTunes and made my own compilation. ... Read More:
