Question: Does anyone know and good songs to dance to for either a Modern, Jazz, or Pointe solo!? !?
I want all the songs to be really different!. Nothing that you would just listen to on the radio!. I have already found my song for lyrical "slow dancing in a burning room" by john mayer!. And i have previously danced to songs by rilo kiley, evanescence, and roisin murphy!. Please help!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I love John Mayer and that song is my favorite!.

Songs I would like to use include:

"Winter" by Tori Amos ( that would be good for modern)
Slaughter on 10th Ave!. is a great piece of work for jazz
"A song for Milly Michelason" is a nice song for modern
for the pointe solo I like phillip glass' piano pieces, music from the atonment soundtrack or music from the ballet "la Bayadare"

good luck!.

How about "Mama Who Bore Me" or other songs from Spring Awakening (the musical) for a modern piece!? I was just in a music revue where we performed that song with modern dancers working in couples and it looked incredible! Opening the repertoire to showtunes for ideas might not be a bad idea, all you have to do is find the right more obscure musicals!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i am a dancer myself and as for a pointe' solo you should use the only hope instrumental or romance byYuki Kajira as for modern i am not sure at the moment but ill come back to you when i have an idea at the moment i am blank!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
