GOOD QUALITY BUT UNEXCITING
As for the "50 Ballroom Favourites" CD ..............
At first listening I was impressed by the quality of reproduction, correct tempi, lack of vocals and rhythms being grouped. However, as a '10 dance dancer' I found that the music did not get my foot tapping and make me want to dance. In fact the slower tempi are quite sleep-inducing. On listening closer, the reason for this is that there is heavy use of strings and lack of brass instruments in most of the tracks. The ones with brass are a bit livelier. There is also a lack of "attack" to the music as if the players are drowsing off - mostly noticeable in the Latin American rhythms which need to be more staccato.

I am sure many people will disagree with me - and I am still happy to listen to this in the car.

Strictly Ballroom Dancing
Overall, a very good selection of music with good rhythm which is easily discernible. The music is suitable for all dancers regardless of their experience. The waltzes are particularly good with a clear rhythm. The quicksteps are perhaps the least enjoyable but are still acceptable for dancing purposes.

Perfect music for practicing one's basic ballroom steps
A perfect starter disc for the beginning ballroomer. The tempo of each track are noted on the sleeve, so one can easily quantify one's pace. A simple and effective aid to understanding the basic dynamics of formalized Eurpoean and LAm dancing.
