This is another good professionally produced CD with a selection of strict tempo numbers by the familiar Columbia Ballroom Orchestra and is worth having in your expanding music library. Fresh music is a must for the competition dancer whether amateur or professional. This disk provides enough variety to satisfy the most jaded dancer. May not be competition quality, as Gunter Noris and others, but well worth having for listening and practice. We compete in American Smooth and Rhythm since 1995. Beginners will also enjoy dancing to this easy listening music.

Purchase all of the Coumbia Ballroom Orchestra albums! They will make an inexpensive foundation for your new or growing collection of ballroom dance music. This is full orchestra dance music and the strings often carry the melody line. The cover lists the appropriate dance and the tempo (bpm). The tempos are appropriate to the suggested dance and it is all beautifully recorded.

Please don't be distressed by the three star rating. This is good stuff! I explain the difference between three and four stars in my profile, and you can find links to several dozen albums reviewed there.
