Rock n Roll Dance Songs

Contributed by Gareth

One of the delightful things about the Rock n Roll dance style is its adaptability to music from all eras. This is a list of songs that are well suited to Rock n Roll Dance, both slow and fast. They range from the 1950's to present day. Some of them you may find quite surprising, but rest assured you can dance to them. If you have a song to add to this list, email me at gareth@rocknrolldance.com
