Chartbreaker for Dancing Vol. 13 combines contemporary international pop music with the structure and tempo requirements of ballroom dancing. Produced by Klaus Hallen and performed by Orquesta Alec Medina, this album presents a diverse selection of modern songs arranged specifically for International Standard and Latin disciplines.
Unlike traditional ballroom orchestras that focus primarily on classic dance music, the Chartbreaker series introduces familiar chart songs while preserving the rhythm, timing, and musical character required for dancing. This approach allows dancers to enjoy recognizable melodies without sacrificing movement quality or musical consistency.
The album includes energetic Samba arrangements such as Just The Way You Are and Back It Up, popular Cha Cha selections including We Are The People and Higher, lyrical Rumba interpretations, dynamic Jive tracks, and elegant Standard ballroom recordings for Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Slow Foxtrot, and Quickstep.
Highlights include the Tango adaptation of Firework, the Quickstep version of Rolling In The Deep, and the expressive Rumba arrangement of Over The Rainbow, creating a balanced mix of modern musical styles and ballroom functionality.
