This is good hip-hop music, but that's ALL it is. The infectious tango track from the movie, (which was even used again for the title page on DVD), is conspicuously NOT there, nor any waltz, rumba or other ballroom music tracks that were in the movie. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A MOVIE ABOUT URBAN SCHOOL KIDS WHO LEARN BALLROOM DANCING! Sure, the hip-hop tracks should be there too because that was an integral part of the film, but that was only about half the music in the film. And in this case, the absence of ballroom dancing tracks, for a movie specifically about ballroom dancing is unforgivable. There should be a disclaimer on the cover of this CD to warn away anyone looking for the great, danceable tango, waltz, etc. tracks that were in the film.

Watched the movie on DVD, loved it so much I immediately got on-line and bought the soundtrack. One of the things I liked about the movie is the juxtaposition of ballroom music and hiphop. The soundtrack for this movie about ballroom dancing does not have a single track of the ballroom music on it! What's up with that?!

Hello,

I thought this movie personally was a wonderful. After I saw it actually I went out and bought the soundtrack. Pretty much all the songs you heard in the movie put together for you on disc. Lots of great dance beats. If you enjoy hip-hoppish music mixed with various other styles you'll enjoy this. Some songs would be great to making a party mix for a dance party if your looking for some good dance beats. There are a couple songs on here that could have been replaced with something better however there are plenty of good ones to outweigh those. I hope this review was helpful for you.

Have a nice day.

Whoa, what a disappointment!!! I checked out the CD music and wondered 'HEY, were we even watching the same movie'?? If all you put on the soundtrack is the hip-hop, it completely misrepresents the film -- which is about ghetto kids learning ballroom, tango and swing, y'all. I was waiting for the swing piece from the dance-school scene and that dynamite, blow-you-away tango that the teacher uses to to lure the kids into learning ballroom ... but those are nowhere to be heard. BAD IDEA! If I wanted straight hip-hop, I wouldn't have been looking for this soundtrack: I'd go straight to the source. As it is, I was looking for the **other** music used for the film. And it's not there. For that reason alone, if I could give this NO stars, I would. The producers need to get a clue here. 'Nuff said.

If any one wants to know who sings the waltz song at the end it is Nat King Cole singing Fascination

My husband and I were very, very disappointed with this CD. It did not follow the movie at all. It left out so many songs, 1 for instance, one of the best, the Tango scene at the beginning and many more songs. We wer very disappointed. It should have gone directly with the movie.....just like the CD for "Meet Joe Black". I felt funny in returning it, since I have already opened it, and listened to it several times just to make sure. But very disappointed.

MAKE IT EXACTLY LIKE THE MOVIE.

Thank you.

If you enjoyed this movie you will definately love the soundtrack. All the great dance music from the movie is on this disk for your listening enjoyment. Must like rap and hip-hop. Great in the car.

I wish I could find all the songs that were in the movie but this will do for those of you who liked the movie. It has most of the songs from the movie and It's a really great dance CD.

Their are some instrumental pieces that needed to be included on the CD. Like the Tango dance pieces Etc...

This is a fantastic compilation which is guaranteed to keep you in a groove from the opening notes right down to the last drumbeat. It is an energetic and eclectic mix of musical styles and genres, featuring a variety of artists--both new and well-known.

This is a terrific CD to wake you up in the morning and inspire you to have the best day possible or to party and dance the night away. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes urban beats.
