You know, bonbon, that I have been very vocal in the past about the music not fitting the style of dance. It is getting worse and worse on that front. It is absolutely meant to cater to a much younger audience which is really sad because it is a ballroom dance competition. The show is becoming less and less about this and more about a big party atmosphere with a lot of flash and gimmicks. What a shame.
I would love to hear more big band music (I’m in my 40’s but my parents were terrific ballroom dancers in the 1940’s and 50’s; not professional but just naturally superbly talented so I was exposed to a lot of that music and really like some of it). And it would be great to hear some Latin music to fit the Latin dances. There are so many great old songs and they could even use newer ones; as long as they fit the style of the dance.
