Dance Music CDs

Why is there not a ballroom dance station or ballroom dance music? I have visited other music sites and they do offer a category specifically for ballroom dance. With the popularity it has obtained in the recent years, especially with the high ratings and success of the ABC show Dancing with the Stars, as a ballroom dance instructor myself, I can share with you my professional opinion, that this particular type of social dancing is very much in demand. I'm more than certain that you would acquire a whole new group of listeners and fans.

What does your dance studio use for music? What computer systems or setups do people use for music in a dance studio? Specifically a system that lets teachers queue up categorized music, for example types of ballroom dance. Our system crashed and we're looking for alternatives. We're open to 3rd party software or even built-in options for Windows. We have the ASCAP license to play music, of course. Music would be loaded from the CD's we own. We're looking for specifically something that lets us queue up music for different ballroom teachers teaching separate lessons off the same floor. If you had a budget of $2,000 what would you build or buy? We're replacing a custom touch screen software solution and want something that will last awhile. It doesn't have to be touch screen, though. :-)

Do you know any "intense" ballroom music? For like the waltz or that graceful spinning? i want music like the baragoku otome or the music they used in sweeney todd during that scene when todd and ms lovet were waltzing around the kitchen holding a butchers knife and rolling pin to their necks. its the music where it has the slower parts for the brisk stepping then it goes BOOM! and has the awesome instrumentals for the spinning. the kind of music that gives you that urge to just spin around with someone(has to be ballroom music) i think the dance is called the waltz? BUT ANYWAYS, im in deep need of some of this dramatic heart beating music(don't want it flimsy) that makes you wanna break out in the waltz. do you know any? to get an idea, look up "sweeney todd- a little priest" on youtube and watch the scene or listen to the music of that scene and that's how awesome and intense i would like it. thanks =)

What grade would you give me on my essay for my 8th grade social studies class? The jazz age had a huge impact on American culture. The evolution of jazz began in the 1920’s also known as the roaring 20’s. Jazz came curing era of evolution America was changing from old America to new America. Te sounds of jazz came from all over the globe. Older people in the 1920’s had trouble abiding with the new culture America brought fourth. “Satchmo” the king of jazz was why jazz made such a big impact on America’s people. 1920’s style and music evolution also influenced many other types of music. The “evolution” of American cuklture began in the 1920’s also known as the roaring 20’s. The start of the 1920’s marked the end of World War 1 and America’s evolution. The first sounds of jazz originated in America. New Orleans was the city of jazz in the 1920’s people called it the birthplace of jazz. Jazz was popular in its early days in African American communities. Without slaves being brought to America would jazz have been discovered? The roots of jazz started in Africa. Western Africans were the first to produce the first sounds of jazz in America. When slaves were brought to America they were not allowed to bring instruments but they brought their own unique style in music. Louis Armstrong created most of the frist sounds of jazz in America. Many young children followed in Louis’s inspirational footsteps. The 1920’s was the start of some color barriers being broken. Children, and the movement. Children made jazz music so popular. Children developed a new feel for music from the classical music to the upbeat sounds of jazz. The blues was very popular before jazz but not for kids, kids were into more upbeat sounds and rhythms. That is why they feel in love with jazz music. Some parents disapproved of jazz because of its African roots and popularity in African American communities. They preferred the mellow and light sounds of classical music. Dancing became the new fad fir teens curfews became later and children began to spend more and more time out of their homes. The shimmy and fox trot were big dance styles back in the 20’s. Kids were used to classic music such as ballroom dancing and the waltz not the upbeat movements of jazz. Jazz broke many color barriers between African American children and white children. Many children’s jazz groups consisted of black & whites. Children in this decade were experiencing that transition from old to new America. Women were and are the back bone of jazz they kept the movement going. Women were either backup singers or songstress. The queen of jazz is Ella Fitzgerald she was one of the first women to hit the big time. Women were not commonly seen playing instruments in the 1920’s.Black women were mostly involved in the earlier days of the jazz age. Black women were backup singers for many white songstresses; because back in the 1920’s black women were not allowed to perform infront of big white audience so they got their fame from singing behind people. The father of jazz changed America for ever. Louis Armstrong AKA “Satchmo” was dubbed the king of jazz in the late 1920’s. He was born in a poor neighborhood in New Orleans known as the battle field. Louis Armstrong played mostly brass instruments. His music teacher was “King” Oliver, King taught him how to play the instruments but he made it a style all his own. Satchmo’s music was loved by many blacks and whites children and adults. He refused to play in segregated arenas, bars, and clubs. His band consisted of 12 blacks and 10 whites. That showed American that music is music and it doesn’t matter what race you are. That set a positive example for kids and many kids started to rebel against segregation. But that didn’t change all of America. Jazz influenced many types of other music. Latin many forms of Latin music evolved from jazz. Latin jazz salsa and maranga have very deep roots in jazz. In Mexico City jazz was a big hit. All they did was add some Spanish and add a spicier beats that people could dance too easy. Even today’s hip hop was influenced by jazz. Gospel music, R&b, and soul music were also influenced by the sounds of jazz. Without jazz there wouldn’t be the wide variety of music we have today in America. Jazz made such a big impact on American culture. Children were evolving and begging to love their new found freedoms. People were begging to see that music and race don’t tie together. Women were being appreciated more and began to more things in their communities. Jazz opened doors for many African American children to have their time to shine on stage. Color barriers were begging to crumple it was the end of world war one so it was a time for celebration. Style, hair, and all changed they made a huge transition from old to new America. That was only the begging of the 20’s. If all that didn’t occur would we have all that we have today?
