What kind of music is used for ballroom dancing?

April 18th, 2011 admin

Almost any kind of music can be used for ballroom dancing, the type of dancing will just depend on the time signature and tempo of the music. Most popular songs these days have 4/4 timing, which would work great for cha cha or hustle.  A good amount of Michael Jackson songs can be used for cha cha. As you gather more experience in dancing you will learn to tell which songs work for which dances. For example, if you want to find a good waltz, you will look for something with a slow ¾ time signature. A good example is the song “Misery” by Pink.
