Many people give an excuse of not being able to dance, whenever an occasion arises. The fact is that, most of them have never tried their hand at dancing and are just hesitant. Professional dance classes make all the difference between a dancer and a non-dancer. A dance class guides one on the right steps and one would be able to shed all inhibitions and become confident soon.

What are good songs for ballroom dancing(tango, waltz, foxtrot, anything like that)?

I just wanna know what other people prefer

There are two answers to this one, I'm afraid! If you go social dancing, chances are you'll hear a lot of old-style music that can be, well, a bit cheesy to younger ears. If you want to dance to pop music, it's worth asking around for some titles of what others like. Off the top of my head: good cha songs are 'Walking on the Sun', 'Sex Bomb', 'Die Another Day', 'Dancing in the Moonlight' (especially the Stargate remix) ... rumba 'In The Air Tonight' ... quickstep 'Sing Sing Sing', 'Life Goes To A Party', 'Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend' (especially off 'Moulin Rouge'), etc etc. Get in touch if you need a bigger list.
