You should get strict tempo ballroom music (that is, music specifically made for dancing) not just any Latin music that sounds good. There are many versions of some pupolar songs, but not all of them are danceable. You can find strict tempo music on the following websites:
http://www.danceshopper.com
http://www.ballroomdancers.com
http://www.dancevision.com
You can listen to samples and buy what you want. Usually, the music with 5 stars is pretty good. You can see the name of the song and the dance it goes with. Sorry, I never found a cheaper source of good ballroom music. You get what you pay for.

MIA!

Have a look at http://www.danzones.net/music.htm
which gives great music suggestions for Latin dances - these are linked to itunes giving album details so you can also hear samples, download or buy the album.

Good Luck!

songs from moulin rouge are amazing to dance to! eg rhyhm of the night, can can (the moulin rouge version) lady marmalade!!!1
