This is a good Rock and Roll dance instrumental by Bert Weedon. His Play In A Day guitar course started many big stars like Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Clapton on their path to fame.

Here's a song not many people remember, but it's a great dance track worth adding to a Rock n Roll dance playlist. It was a top ten doo-wop hit in 1961.

This is a great rock 'n' roll dance song that people wouldn't automatically think of. But, they're missing out.

When rock 'n' roll dancers hit the floor for a jive they don't beat around the bush. They get on with it. They need music that does the same. The song Beating Around The Bush by Australian band Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons from 1976 doesn't beat around the bush either.

What we like about The Romantics 1980 smash hit What I Like About You is that it's one of the best Rock 'n' Roll dance songs of the post Rock 'n' Roll era.

Floyd Cramer played piano on Elvis' recording of Heartbreak Hotel and a stack of other Elvis recordings. As a session musician, he also played piano on a number of Roy Orbison's records, as well as tickling the ivories for Patsy Cline and other notable artists. (See Wikipedia)

This isn't your usual type of song. It's one of those rarities in which the lyrics are all spoken instead of being sung.

When the dancers have worked up enough of a sweat that it's time to say "see you later, alligator" to Bill Halley and The Comets, you need 'filler' songs. Little Things is a great example.

If you can't dance to this tune, you should maybe consider a different hobby. Walk, Don't Run ought to be renamed Dance, Don't Sit!

Okay, we're here to Rock n Roll Dance, not to pack up the family wagon complete with dead auntie on the roof and head down the Holiday Road with the Griswalds. Lindsey Buckingham's hit song from National Lampoon's Vacation movie can certainly help us with that, but only if you're ready for a fast one!

Not a bad tune to rock to. Sunday Girl was recorded by Blondie in the late 1970s, so it has a more modern disco sound, yet the beat is unmistakably rock n roll. With a medium-fast tempo, it's a great boogie tune, though not one that's often chosen for rock n roll dance sets.

It's hard to look past Summertime Blues when you're compiling a list of really great rock n roll dance tracks. Medium-fast pace, very strong beat and a tone that perfectly suits exciting dance - how can you go wrong.

If you want a track with a good medium-fast rock n roll beat that captures the atmosphere of the early 1960s, you can't go wrong with Just Like Eddie. Heinz Burt was the bass player for the ill-fated band The Tornados.
