Hi like to know if anyone does dances for older folk foxtrots, waltzs quicksteps, that sort of thing and if so what songs do they pair up as you usually do two numbers to the one dance Tommy

You could always do Glen Miller,Tommy Dorsey any of the Big band numbers.Those were the songs that they used at Tea Dances.I do have some files if you are interested.

Look on You Tube for Strictly Come Dancing, you'd be surprised at some of the tunes they use for different dances, it doesn't have to be old tunes

Hi Tommy
In the clubs Irish Clubs it's normally 3 dances of the same tempo, in the English clubs it can be that but I find they normally do 2, unless it's a club with people really into the ballroom dancing, you always know when they bring their dancing shoes to change into!
Gerry (Sweeney)gave me lots of advise on them as he does a lot of sequence dance clubs, but that's different again, and a whole new ball game.
Is it mainly song ideas your after? for those dances

Hi Jacqui in the bowling clubs i do in Scotland it's normally 2 dances at the same tempo and sometimes i find it difficult to get two the same especially when i get a new file trying to pair it Tommy
