Hi everyone, I'm a new poster that found your website looking for new music ideas and now I check it daily. I found alot of terrific ideas, mainly from Djoser and MnM, but the dancers give great ideas too. So thank you to all.
I used to DJ in Columbus, Ohio, at a few of Danny's Fox clubs but now I'm retired and a mom, however I still do work for friends and even help some dancers choreograph to music we choose for them. I went through your huge lists of Music posts and think I have a few ideas some of you might like. But be warned, i personally loathe Hip Hop after the 80's with a passion, so you won't find it here.I played what the girls liked, but just refused to -=create=- dances using music that debased and trash talked the women performing them. Call me willfully bitchy.
Anyways, here goes my list of some of my currently used music and knowing the tough crowd you all are to please, I hope a few get your thumbs up. I just listed alot, aphabetical order here. I list the mp3 times to help out. Alot of the songs are long, but they never limited the girls much here. And it was generally 2 song sets so they could go longer at times. Oh, and all songs are found on limewire to sample them. Yes its a long list, but i won't post often, I promise.
