What are good songs by popular artists to ballroom dance to?

Question:I'm looking for popular songs to do rumba, swing, foxtrot, and waltz to that I might have already on albums or on my computer.

Basically anything by mainstream artists that work well with those dances.

Thanks!!

I think popular/mainstream can be pretty subjective, depending on your age. When I was learning to ballroom dance (less than 5 years ago) I would listen to the radio and try to figure out what dance I could do to each song. This works if you listen to an easy listening/soft rock station.

Rumba:
Beach Boys - Kokomo
Eagles - Tequila Sunrise
Wicked Game - Chris Isaak
Celine Dion - Falling Into You

Swing (I'm assuming Jive):
Elton John - Crocodile Rock
Elvis Presley - Jailhouse Rock
Gloria Estefan - Bad Bad Boy

Foxtrot:
Barenaked Ladies - If I Had a Million Dollars
Michael Buble - Moondance
Michael Buble - Come Fly With Me
Diana Krall - Charmed Life

Waltz:
Eagles - Take it to the Limit
Anne Murray - Could I have this dance
Westlife - Queen of My Heart
Journey - Open Arms

Hopefully this helps you out a bit!

the waltz

Gloria Estephan - Turn the beat around. Celine Dion - My heart will go on.
