Dance, Anyone?

Categories
Music

 

This is not an original blog idea, with credit going to my law partner, Jane Jacobs. But, it got me thinking – well, really singing. Jane was in the process recently of creating a dance playlist and asked for recommendations from her friends.

 

Let’s help Jane fill out that playlist.  I’ll start.

 

The first three that came to my mind:

1. Sweet Caroline, Neil Diamond

2. Dancing in the Dark, Bruce Springsteen

3. Paradise by the Dashboard Light, Meatloaf


What are your favorite dance songs?


[And, since this is my last blog for 2014, I wanted to wish each of you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2015!]

I must be missing the appeal of Sweet Caroline as a dance song. A siing along song? Sure. But dancing? Multiple people suggested it.

For me, old time disco. I Will Survive. McArthur Park. Even the Rik Roll song. Madonna.

I could give you a very long list of songs; but they would all be for partner dances...West Coast Swing, Country Two Step, Waltz, and any of the latin dances. I can't remember the last time I free styled. What can I say? If I'm dancing I prefer to be doing so while in contact with my partner. (That's the most politically correct way I can think of to say that. LOL)

Happy New Year!
