Ball Room Dancing Music

I was watching PBS last night (I know how geeky) and they had a Ballroom
Dancing Championship on. People were dancing the paso doble, cha-cha,
rumba, fox trot, etc...

There was one creative couple that did their routine to Walter Murphy's
infamous disco classic "A Fifth of Beethoven". I thought this was very
progressive considering what most people were dancing to. Then they had
an exhibition where little kids were dancing. Their routine was done to
2-Unlimited's "Twilight Zone". I can't imagine a cheesier song than that
to do it to so I began thinking of what kind of music could be used for
that. I think some acid jazz with accentuated jungle beats would be
great. Anybody else?

Peace,

Pedro Cevallos
