Dance In The Old Fashioned Way by Tony Evans & His Orchestra is a 12-track ballroom dance music collection featuring classic melodies arranged for Quickstep, Foxtrot, Waltz and Tango. With approximately 36 minutes of music, the album captures the elegant, romantic character of traditional ballroom dancing while providing clearly defined rhythms for practice, lessons and social dancing.
The collection opens with upbeat Quickstep selections including “The Way You Look Tonight,” “Button Up Your Overcoat,” “I Got Rhythm,” and “You’ll Never Know.” These lively arrangements provide a bright contrast to the smoother Foxtrots that follow.
The Foxtrot section includes “I Only Have Eyes for You” and the title track “Dance in the Old Fashioned Way,” offering a relaxed and sophisticated ballroom character. Three Waltzes—“Try to Remember,” “Wonderful One,” and “My Autumn Love”—bring graceful, flowing melodies to the middle of the album.
The collection concludes with three Tangos: “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina,” “Tango Espania,” and “Jealousy.” Their stronger dramatic character provides an effective finish to an album that moves naturally between the major Standard ballroom moods.
