An iMix is compilation of songs created by individuals and available for purchase through Apple's iTunes Store.

These nine iMixes contain some of my favorite songs. Packaged six songs per iMix - each is affordably priced at $5.94. Use the arrows to scroll between the iMixes and click on the image that looks like a CD cover for details about the songs in that iMix.

 



H
ere are more of my favorites. You can easily buy individual songs by clicking the iTunes button below the player.

If you have iTunes on your computer it will launch and take you directly the song in the iTunes store. If you don't have iTunes, you'll be re-directed to where you can download the application, and then come back here to re-pick the song or iMix.

The song groupings are reflective of my tastes - listen though and you're sure to find songs you believe should be grouped in a faster or slower category - music tastes are wonderfully subjective! I strongly recommend that new dancers "cut their teeth" to the Slower and Moderate tempos, for the first couple of months, definitely before tackling the Slow/Blues or Faster tempoed songs.
