Tony Evans: Wrap Your Arms Around Us

Tony Evans & His Orchestra: Wrap Your Arms Around Me

A cornerstone of the international ballroom community, “Wrap Your Arms Around Me” (featured digitally as “Wrap Your Arms Around Us”) showcases Tony Evans & His Orchestra at the absolute peak of their technical powers. Meticulously engineered for Maestro Records, this 15-track album is a comprehensive, multi-discipline collection built specifically to satisfy the strict requirements of professional dance training and examination boards.

The album is anchored by its deeply romantic, title-track Rumbas, which blend intimate woodwinds, expressive strings, and a prominent, crystal-clear backbeat to guide precise hip action and partner connection. Beyond its legendary Latin pieces, the compilation spans the full spectrum of competitive ballroom dancing, providing strict-tempo arrangements for Cha Cha, Samba, Jive, Paso Doble, Slow Foxtrot, Quickstep, Waltz, and Viennese Waltz. Every cut swaps confusing pop syncopations for a locked-in rhythm and distinct introductory bars, ensuring student success across both competitive coaching sessions and casual social socials.

Key Highlights of This Core Studio Album:

• 15 Professionally Orchestrated Cuts: A definitive master collection spanning 9 distinct International Ballroom and Latin dance disciplines.

• Strict-Tempo Studio Precision: Each track features exact BPM indicators and steady bar structures, perfect for medal tests, choreography building, and rhythm drilling.
