[Dixielandjazz] Music for dancing - tempos

[Ric Giorgi]

Thanks Larry,
Please send the pdf file. 
You're so right regarding holding the tempo and the pickiness of
good dancers. On strictly dance gigs, the rock solid drummer who may
not have the moves of some finesse players gets the nod every time
(and any rhythm section player who can't hold tempo can kill you). 
Cheers, 
Ric

My wife is making me take dancing lessons and I asked the instructor
for a 
list of dance tempos.  It seems that there are a couple of
classifications 
depending on your dance skill and also if it's European or US.  It
has 
metronome markings for a large number of dance styles.

I have it in a pdf file and will send it to anyone who wants it.
