Hi, discojen79
Yes, you can probably find some songs by Shakira. I'm not very up-to-date on her repertoire. I'd recommend going to www.ballroomdancers.com or to www.danceshopper.com and listen to the samples of the sound tracks from Latin CDs. You might also look into "new releases" section on those websites. I personally like raggaeton-style sambas, like track #8 on this one: http://www.danceshopper.com/ballroom-dance-music.Latin%20Music%205
If you want something more up-beat, #3 from this one is always a popular choice: http://www.ballroomdancers.com/Music/info_album.asp?Album=1085
Check out #14 and #19 from below. #14 is African style, #19 is more of a disco style: http://www.danceshopper.com/ballroom-dance-music.WR2CD-5028
#2 from here is never-aging jazz:

I hope it helps.
