Hi,
I’ve started putting together some 3 song arrangements for club dancing and so far I have concentrated on the “Breakaway Blues Dance”.
As this Dance should get the dances singing and dancing I am using the organ swing style with Organ voice with the option of quite sustained string voice so not to drown out any singing. I have a few arrangement put together, one being songs “Slow boat to China”, “Who’s sorry now and “My blue heaven”.

I am now looking at the TANGO, RUMBA and WHIPERING FOXTROT, not sure if any of the arrangements will be played anywhere other than my music room but.
My Question being

If anyone would like to suggest any 3 song arrangements for the above dances I would most grateful.


Les..

Thanks Eileen for the songs....will try them out.

Hi Wally,

The Topic was not just aimed at the 3 dances I listed, it is open to share any that fellow keyboard players want too. Just though it would intresting for others to see what others are playing, sheet music wise and try out a 3 pieces arrangement.


Reply with what ever I say, and keep the Forum Moving and hopefully with intrest..
