Here 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.
