"This cd is one of the worst cd's I have ever bought. I was very disappointed with this purchase. There was not one single song on there of any quality. It was like listening to elevator music. I would not suggest that anyone buy this in hopes of increasing their ballroom dance music collection."

"I am on a personal crusade to save dancers and music fans in general from wasting anymore money on this bad, bad CD. Dance Instructors beware! This CD has the tacky music box, canned, elevator loop track sound so common in seemingly bargain dance CDs. Okay. Strict tempo?--this is. Easy to hear the tempo and beat pattern?--Yes. I suppose you might want that for the strictest of dance practice type scenarios (very hard of hearing little old ladies who really want to get it right). I know my students would find this music lackluster and dull, and it would certainly be a bad idea for the energy level of any dance class or dance party. Possibly useful for people having a hard time with finding the count of the various dances included, but generally a very, very poor choice for enjoyment or performance value. This is, however, exacting tempo for American Standard in Ballroom. You can find many, many, excellent selections of all of these music styles elsewhere."
