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 -- "For as long as hope remains and meaning is preserved, the possibility of overcoming oppression stays alive.
