After a lengthy bout with cancer, David Bowie has passed.
As a community of ballroom dancers, we remember the legendary musician, and actor, for his showmanship, creativity, and, especially, his music. He will be missed, but we can all dance to his legacy.
David Bowie Ballroom Dance Music
1. Fame
Dance: West Coast Swing
This track has two things that fit perfectly with West Coast Swing: A great bassline, and plenty of attitude.
2. Heroes
Dance: Rumba
This song shows emotion and vulnerability - great for a passionate dance like Rumba.
3. Dancing In The Street
Dance: Swing, Cha-Cha
A pair of party dances for a pair of epic voices. This Bowie and Jagger collaboration is a dance party favorite which blends perfectly with Swing and Cha-Cha.
4. Let's Dance
Dance: Hustle or Cha-Cha
This song should be your anthem as a ballroom dancer.
5. As The World Falls Down - From the movie Labryrinth
Dance: Opens as a Waltz, finishes as a Bolero
If you are looking for a great song to dedicate to David Bowie as your next dance routine - this is it. It's hard enough to find a decent Waltz, impossible to find one that goes into a Bolero.
