Product Description

The first part of The Ultimate Ballroom Album 5 gives considerable space to Slowfox and Quickstep. Petite Fleur, Fever and That Old Feeling appear in the Slowfox section, while Quickstep includes material credited to Ted Heath, Shirley Bassey and Sarah Vaughn. These choices bring several orchestra and vocal approaches into a programme organised for ballroom dancing.

Waltz begins the second part with Fly me to the Moon and continues through songs such as Try To Remember, Moon River and A Time for Us. Three Viennese Waltzes form a bridge to six Tangos, including Adios Pampa Mia and Tango Delle Rose. The album suits dancers or teachers who want multiple selections for each Standard category while favouring classic song repertoire and named dance orchestras over a collection built mainly around modern remixes.
