A detailed ballroom music database may be found at www.starstudios.com.au

There aren't many reviews as yet, but details like album title and tempo and track length are given.

It's a commercial site - but since they don't sell anything over the web, and you don't have many Australian readers, maybe the URL can stay for a little while [Smile]

Foxtrots, foxtrots, foxtrots...any Ella Fitzgerald CD has about 90% foxtrot...granted, half of them take about a minute to get going, and she's a bit old, but they have a great swinging feel to them.
Newer artists include Michael Buble (Fever is fantastic...so hot! And Summer Wind, Come Fly With Me, I've Got You Under My Skin...) His albums also have a few other dances as well, so they're a good buy.
Matt Dusk has a few on his album, Back In Town (The Best Is Yet To Come, Learnin' the Blues, On the Street Where You Live) and he's got a few quicksteps, rumbas, etc. to his name. And it's all great music, too.
Also, check out Manhattan Transfer--also a bit old, but it's a vocal-jazz group, not a cappella but similar style to a cappella ensembles. Very humourous vocal techniques in some songs.
Hope everyone finds what they're looking for!
