I suppose I would LOVE a couple to dance to a UB40 song, especially groovin', not very well known but I love it

Thanks for all the replies everyone!! Some really good suggestions! Some that I hadn't thought about, but now that they've been mentioned I really want to see them being used!

I was never a fan of mandy but her acoustic stuff is actually quite pallatable. There's an acoustic version of I wanna be with you that isn't too bad.

I'll probably get strung up for this but Maroon 5 do a version of the old beatles song If I fell that I would love for a rumba

I prefer the one on their acoustic album as this youtube version is a bit faster. Evan Rachel Wood does a version too that is quite nice

Quickstep - Let's Face the Music And Dance

Cha-Cha - Sex Bomb

My suggestion:

How about an actual LATIN song for the Rumba or CC???

None of this disco or soppy ballad stuff - the latter especially just doesn't work.

If there was ever a totally fantastic celeb at latin i would love to see an attempt to dance to "the beat"

For a paso the pirates of the caribbean theme is good but there's probably copyright issues.

I would love to see the band attempt this jive:

My goodness ! How do you remember them?

And it helps that I'm a little obsessed with dance music.

However, I do remember David Dickinson dancing to 'Sex Bomb'. Who doesn't ?

You really needed to have heard it sung by my Grandad LOL!

How about

Dirty Diana (Michael Jackson) as an AT

Fernando (Abba) as a VW

geez louise

How about Sabor a Mi for a rumba then?

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl/Hans Zimmer – Paso Doble
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=jyyJ2EbZvaY
This brilliantly dramatic soundtrack music perfectly captured the pulsating drama of a Spanish bullfight, to stunning effect when the track was used in the London 2007 Eurovision Dance Contest.

That's the one that I suggested just a few posts ago.

I pray every series we are going to get an Iron Maiden Paso Doble! I bet the band will have fun with that one! Or Poison by Alice Cooper, that would be unbelievable!

Could probably throw a few Bon Jovi ballads in there too for the slower dances, and I'd love someone to dance to this:

Sorry Hann4h I missed your post ... that Hans Zimmer track would definitely challenge the orchestra ... they would need to be on top form

I'd like to see someone do a rumba to Only You from Starlight Express.

You get a thumps up from me. Like those songs.

Right how about cherie and James do cha cha cha to this song.

Two different versions of the same song. It could work.

I would like to see a Rumba to "Insatiable" by Darren Hayes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiXWoWtLex4 -preferably by pros or at least not by John...bless him!!!!
