ReplyDeleteGreat list! A small addition: Little Patch of Heaven from Home on the Range (quickstep)
Song suggestions from Corpse Bride would be very much appreciated.
Remains of the day would be jive, right?
DeleteAnd Victor's piano solo is a vwaltz
You know, Under The Sea was played at the UK Open some years ago. As a samba. Pro Latin Finals 2005, I think. I hated it.
ReplyDeleteCorpse Bride:
ReplyDelete~Remains of the Day: Foxtrot to Quickstep
~Victor's Piano Solo: V-Waltz
~Piano Duet: Long intro, but eventually V-Waltz
~New Arrival: Short, but Quickstep
I'm looking for an Argentine Tango to something from Star Wars. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteWhat ballroom dance would be appropriate for Tangled's I See The Light? It's for a first dance at my wedding.
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
Great choice :)
DeleteI'd go with American Rumba
What style of ballroom dance would work with The Corrs' "Looking Through Your Eyes"? It's from Quest for Camelot! Not a Disney movie, but still wonderful :) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI would recommend International Rumba once the singers begin. It's 4/4 and very sweet sounding.
ReplyDeletehello what would enchantedsay "so close" be
ReplyDeleteTHank you for all of this. I'm teaching an American Rumba and also Beauty & Beast Waltz in Palo Alto next week at a big venue, on "Disney" theme night so really needed this. My biggest problem is that the waltz is done to "Tale as Old as Time" which is not 3/4 but 4/4 music so I appreciate advice for how best to teach a waltz to 4/4 music without confusing beginning waltz students! teach it in 8-counts and just adding in extra 2 steps on the "7-8" count? Thanks
ReplyDeletep.s. upon reviewing it again, there are a lot of complex syncopations in it, but I've realized if I keep a strong 2-count, I can count it all the way through as a waltz. The first part is very slow with all the walking and bowing, but right after the bowing it speeds up and becomes a stronger waltz rhythm. I noticed the singing is very overlapped with the measures, the downbeat is on the last word of the phrases, so that confused me, but my key is just keeping track of the pulse of the music and then it all fits. and remains a waltz without confusing my beginning students...
ReplyDeleteThis is being said super late but "Tale as Old as Time" is actually a Rumba, and I would just dance Am. Rumba to it. It's frustrating because in the movie they dance a V Waltz and most people think it's a Waltz, but a Rumba could be easily made to look like a Waltz to anyone who didn't know better. :-)
DeleteThis is fantastic guys, thank you all!
ReplyDeleteWhat dance would you do for Can This Moment Last Forever?

I think This Is Halloween is actually better as an American Tango. I don't hear much samba beat in it.
