Your welcome Terry M22, just come out with another cracker from hozier with take me to church for a Halloween foxtrot or waltz, maybe even a rumba, who knows?

Take me to church doesn't really lend itself to any of the dances sadly. Maybe if they (god forbid) introduced contemporary...

I'd like to see slightly faster rumba music next series. Is it just me or are they almost always too slow? Writings on the wall was a particularly tricky one. I think that's part of the reason the rumba content this series was so lacking... the couples that got good music had a lot of recognisable basic steps - the ones that didn't had a lot of posturing and wiggling about. Hello is too slow too. I love it but my dance teacher always speeds it up when we dance to it.

I like

Go your own way - wilson philips
Too lost in you - sugababes
Goldeneye - tina turner
Fields of gold - sting

For a modern day cha cha cha with zedd featuring selena gomez with I want you to know:

Both Pixie Lott and Kimberly Walsh are among the audience at Dynamo Live and I was wondering what Dynamo would be like as a Strictly contestant.

Watching Dynamo Live on Television.

Broken flowers by Danny l harle for a salsa or samba:

Danny L Harle - Broken Flowers: http://youtu.be/OwpP6gNiIWE

Dizzy - Vic Reeves & The Wonderstuff
You Ruin Me - The Veronicas
Cake by the Ocean - DNCE
Jealous - Labrinth
Figure It Out - Royal Blood
Unstoppable-Sia

There will probably be a tribute to David Bowie, so these would be my picks:

Cha Cha Cha - Let's Dance
Charleston (or Salsa) - Dancing in the street


Option for an instrumental song:

Rumba - New York City https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM2bA9NnUxU

(it is also the closing theme of the Dutch version of The Mole; which is still running)

Option for an animated song:

Paso/Tango - Thundercats Theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwGgwZSgZAI

(could also be instrumental)

Tango/ Paso to Rebel Rebel or a group dance to Star Man. I got a feeling they will use one of his songs.

Modern day tango to resonance by LuvBug:

In regard to recent events, this would make a good group dance:

Or a Quickstep/Foxtrot to this:

(neither song has been used yet on Strictly)

Dose anyone have any ideas what the song 7 Years by Lukas Graham could be used for as a dance.

Lovely song, but sadly I don't think it fits any latin or ballroom dances.
If they ever decided to introduce contemporary, it would be fabulous though!

The song is in 4/4 time and has approximately 120 beats per minute.
It would be suitable for a foxtrot.

I considered that, but just didn't think it had the right feel for a Foxtrot.
That said, Strictly thinks it's ok to do a Tango to Hold back the river by James Bay so what do I know.

Aliona produced wonderful foxtrot choreography that combined traditional steps with innovative moves to Lay Me Down by Sam Smith, another song in 4/4 time with approximately 120 beats per minute but with considerably more syncopation than 7 Years by Lukas Graham.

In the right hands — probably Aljaz because of his flair for ballroom choreography — I could envisage a touching foxtrot to 7 Years.

Zara Larsson - Lush Life - Slow Salsa
DNCE - Cake By The Ocean - Cha Cha Cha

Louise (Redknapp) - Light Of My Life - Waltz
Glen Frey - The Heat Is On - Jive

Been compiling this list for a while now. Right- off to get myself a life now...

ETA- I know Yellow Brick Road's not in waltz time- I was just shoe-horning it in because I love it. I'd let the pro's do a group dance to it

I love the Carousel waltz from Carousel it's perfect for a Viennese waltz and I don't think it's been done before

another one I'd like to see is the Rhumba to Unbreak My Heart by Toni Braxton

btw i think those of you who said foxtrot for 7 years are right - I don't have a clue about counting beats but the melody has that slow quick quick rhythm that I associate with foxtrot

Jess Glynne - Take me Home (Rumba)
Frank Sinatra - Luck Be a Lady (Foxtrot/American Smooth)
September - Cry For You (Cha Cha Cha)
Soulsearcher - Can't Get Enough (Cha Cha Cha)
Will Young - Love Resurrection (Tango)

I'd like to see:

Stitches- Shawn Mendes
History- One Direction
Army- Ellie Goulding
Confide In Me- Kylie Minogue

I don't know what it is called but I think the song used in the "Very" advert which is on at the moment could be a good choice for a Salsa?

Light It Up by Major Lazer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDcFryDXQ7U

Good salsa vibe

This is "Very" spooky. I was just going to say that. I love that song and the advert.


Song Title:*Light It Up*[Remix].

Artist/DJ:*Major Lazer*(feat. Nyla & Fuse ODG).
