Tony Evans – Ice Castles

Ice Castles by Tony Evans & His Orchestra is a versatile ballroom dance music collection featuring 15 tracks arranged for a wide range of International Standard and Latin dances. From the romantic expression of Rumba and Waltz to the energy of Cha Cha, Samba, Jive and Quickstep, the album provides dancers with a varied selection for practice, teaching and social dancing.

The collection covers Rumba, Cha Cha, Samba, Jive, Paso Doble, Tango, Foxtrot, Quickstep, Waltz, Viennese Waltz and Bolero, with each selection clearly associated with its intended dance style. Familiar melodies and polished orchestral arrangements make the music accessible for dancers while maintaining the rhythmic character needed for ballroom movement.

Highlights include the title track “Ice Castles” as a Rumba, “Everything Changes but You” as a Cha Cha, “Bamboleo” as a Samba, “Those Were the Days” as a Paso Doble, “Unchained Melody” as a Foxtrot, and “Jesse” as a Waltz. The collection closes with a Viennese Waltz arrangement combining “Nocturn in Eb / Serenade for Strings / Für Elise / Skaters Waltz.”
