There is a certain way you have to dress for this music and it involves suits, ties, and little black dresses.

Back when “do you wanna dance?” meant “will you press those fantastic breasts against me?”

“Dancing is a perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire.”
― George Bernard Shaw

This, from Two Moon Junction, may not go over big here, but hey:

Maybe too spirited for slow, but imagine a good couple close but twirling and jigging to this ‘un – plus the minor chords are sexy:

Close only counts in horseshoes , hand grenades and sometimes dancing.

Have been told that I do it well, so, if Scrabble sets up karaoke in the barn, I attend, and Garth’s “The Dance” can be queued up, I’d belt it out, after a long neck or two of liquid courage has been had.

I promise not to hurt anyone’s eardrums, or induce cringe, and would hope a few couples would pair off in a slow mo sway to the melody.
It’s happened before when I had the mic.

Song’s about being grateful for what was, instead of lamenting a loss. Glad to see it made your list Dani.
Cheers!

Always a favorite in my post divorce days hanging around the local meat markets.

Some good guitar in this one, for Miss T and Miss Adams…
And, a good slow dance tune.

Or, here’s a more uptempo guitar instrumental if you might want to move a little faster on the dance floor, with a suitable partner.
I like the title, and the beat.
Wait for it…be patient.

I love Spanish guitar. There’ll be no Flamenco dancing for me, right now. Maybe in a couple months.

Keep at the PT and strength conditioning, Mare. I can’t ballroom dance or flamenco, either, but, agree, the music can be good sometimes.
Get stronger soon.

Marilyn McCoo with The 5th Dimension, Love Lines Angles and Rhymes.

At a minimum, as good as any song on any list, imho.

I was 11 when this song was popular. This song is another reminder of how far gone our country is. But at least I can navigate via an ipad … fabulous.

Every garage band knew this one and played it at the high school sock hops and like Iska said.

John Lennon once called this the best song ever written. He was probably high on LSD at the time, but still.

One of the greatest of our generation’s ‘Anthems’ … IMHO …
