I thought it sounded pretty much the same as I listened to it This was just o.k.
See "Let's Dance: The Best of Ballroom" for some really great foxtrots and waltzes. My wife & I are ballroom beginners, and we have found this to have lots of tunes that are great for practice. The single waltz is too fast for beginners, and swings should be supplemented by anything Glen Miller.
It's great - just what I wanted. After taking several beginner ballroom dancing lessons, I purchased this cd to practice at home.
Very danceable. It's rather old but the tempos are good. Music is fine.
Try dancing West Coast Swing to track 8 and Lindy-hop to track 18 and your feet will feel oh so good. With the exception of a slight retard at the end of the song, a strict tempo made it easier for men to count their steps and help their partners look better.The tempos - appropriate in 1960 - tend to be a little faster than current DanceSport preferences. With due respect to other esteemed reviewers, tracks 8 and 18 need not be labeled rock-n-roll. Arthur Murray (born Moses Teichman in 1895) became a franchising legend in the 30s and 40s as he sold rights to teach his "footstep" dance patterns across the United States. This collection is indeed a "fabulous" bargain at $11.99.Please click on "See all my reviews" for reviews of more than 100 ballroom dance albums. Following the Second World War, he put heavy emphasis on the "Latin American" dance steps that he adapted from several long visits to Cuba. He opened his first franchised dance studio in 1938, and these numbered more than 3,500 at their peak. Part of his genius was borrowing the "strict-tempo" dance rhythm ideas he heard from Victor Silvester and the best of the British dance bands.
