Question:I am going in in three weeks to "audition" for a teacher/ choreography job, so i want to make a tape of dances i've choreographed. But my issue is finding songs that are "dance worthy' . You dancers know that some songs just have that feeling behind them that make it so easy to imagine what they would "look like" :) So I've been looking for hours, but i figured i would ask for some help!!!!
