what would be some good modern/contemporary music to do a ballet dance to for an end of year concert?

Question

it is for a senior class and we typically use music that is between 3 and 6 min long

thanks

Answer 1

Just like a star by Corrine Bailey Ray (I think thats her name) its a slowish song and some girl danced a ballet type piece to it on So You Think You Can Dance.

Answer 2

frou frou has a lot of great songs that can be used for a piece like this
last year my studio did a ballet dance(w/ a little bit of a modern flair) to "let go" by: frou frou
it is 4 mins and 15 secs long,
it was amazing!
the crowd loved it and the song builds, so it is easily dance-able
on the cd details their are lots of songs that work perfect for a dance like this!
good luck! im sure it will be great!
: )

Answer 3

There's lots of good music! I liked the suggestion of Frou Frou's music.
Bjork also has some great music. "Joga" for instance.

I also like Boris Kovac's "Crazy Love Waltz"

Rusted Root is another fantastic group with a whole bunch of music that works. We were constantly dancing to Rusted Root music in my moder/contemp classes at school. If you've ever seen the movie Matilda one of their songs is in it. "Send Me On My Way"

Other good songs of theirs are "Laugh As the Sun"

and "Lost in the Crowd"
