Check out the dancing grandma in this video. (She makes her first appearance at 1:10 minutes.) We should all be so flexible! All it takes is some good music. Thanks to ChangingAging, where Dr. Bill Thomas promotes positive images of aging.

Warm Up

The Ink Spots – My Prayer (My Prayer) (3:15)
The Ink Spots - My Prayer - My Prayer


Rod Stewart – Embraceable you (Stardust… The Great American Songbook, Vol. III) (2:37)
Rod Stewart - Stardust... The Great American Songbook, Vol. III - Embraceable You
Not available on Amazon as an MP3 in the US (you can download it at Amazon UK). Here’s the album.

You can listen to the song in this video. I remove the introduction when I use the song in class.

Jason Mraz – I’m yours (I’m yours) (4:07)
Sindre Dybvikstrand - I'm Yours - Single - I'm Yours

Here’s a live version. The album version works really well in class. (Thanks, Grace)

Stretch

Ella Fitzgerald - The Intimate Ella - Reach for Tomorrow


K D Lang – Hallelujah (Hymns of the 49th Parallel) (4:57)

Circle

Liz Wright – Stop (Dreaming Wide Awake) (3:32)
Lizz Wright - Dreaming Wide Awake - Stop



Blues Etilicos – Canceriano sem lar (Putumayo Presents: Blues Around the World) (2:59)
Blues Etílicos - Dente de Ouro - Canceriano Sem Lar (Clínica Tobias Blues)
Not available on Amazon as an MP3. Here’s the album. I use several songs from this album in classes.

There’s no video of Blues Etilicos doing this song, but here’s another version – a live performance — that has similar motion-inducing qualities.

Paulina Rubio – Alma en Libertad (Pau-Latina) (3:54)
Paulina Rubio - Pau-Latina - Alma En Libertad

This looks live, but I wonder if she’s lip-syncing. It sounds just like the album.

Across the Floor

Los Enanitos Verdes – Tan solo un instante ( Los Enanitos Verdes: Coleccion Aniversario) (3:24)
Los Enanitos Verdes - Los Enanitos Verdes: Coleccion Aniversario - Tan Solo un Instante



Los de Abajo – El Indio (Putumayo Presents: Nuevo Latino) (3:32)
Not available as an MP3 on Amazon or iTunes. Here’s the album.

Guy Lombardo – Three o’clock in the morning (Winter Moods with Guy Lombardo) (2:43)
I can’t find this on iTunes.
Not available on Amazon as an MP3, and I can’t tell if the song on the following album is the one I use (when you click to listen, it plays another song called Jean). I use a version of this song from an old album called Waltz Favorites.

On the Floor

Steve Erquiaga – Pavane for a dead princess (Café Paradiso) (5:57)


Steve Erquiaga – Two Preludes (Chopin) (Café Paradiso) (3:43)

Steve Erquiaga – Arioso (Bach) (Café Paradiso) (3:23)

Steve Erquiaga – Under the Tuscan Sun (Café Paradiso) (4:50)

Steve Erquiaga – If Dreams Could Dance (Café Paradiso) (4:26)

Café Pardiso is not available on iTunes or Amazon as MP3 files, and there are no YouTube videos of the tracks I use. Here’s an example of Steve Erquiaga’s guitar playing. This song, Sicilienne, is too busy for On the Floor.
