Dancelife – Very Best Part 3

Dancelife’s Very Best Part 3 combines Latin and Standard ballroom selections in an eighteen-track programme, with Slow Jive adding another option between the Latin and Waltz sections. Pop, soul and familiar song titles appear as dance selections, from Bang Bang and Land Of A Thousand Dances to Golden Brown and Nobody Does It Better. The collection suits dancers seeking a varied repertoire across several rhythms rather than a single-dance album.

Very Best Part 3 offers a compact tour through Dancelife’s Latin and Standard ballroom repertoire. Its eighteen selections are arranged by dance, beginning with Samba, Cha Cha Cha and Rumba, then passing through Paso Doble, Jive and Slow Jive before the Standard portion begins. That sequence makes it easy to choose a particular rhythm while also giving a mixed practice session a varied musical programme.

The Latin section pairs Perdono with Affirmation for Samba and Bang Bang with Suelta La Cintura for Cha Cha Cha. Diamante and To Be With You form the Rumba pair, followed by Paso Royale. Land Of A Thousand Dances and Some Kind Of Wonderful provide the transition through the two Jive groupings. The distinction between Jive and Slow Jive is retained so those selections can be considered separately.

The second half includes Take It To The Limit and Jessie for Slow Waltz, O Sole Mio and Livin’ Thing for Tango, and Golden Brown for Viennese Waltz. Brown Eyes Blue and Nobody Does It Better make up the Slow Foxtrot group. Nah Neh Nah and Marakesh Express bring the collection to a Quickstep close.

For dancers and teachers, the appeal is the range of recognisable songs within a clearly organised dance programme. The table also includes the original songwriting credits. These identify the compositions’ writers, allowing the musical repertoire to be explored without confusing those names with the performers of the dance recordings.
