Looking for a 4/4 song

Hi, I'm currently organising a Shakespearian Drama performance. And we're looking for some classical ballroom music to dance to in scenes. However, none of us can dance. We we're going to be doing simple stepping moving across the stage dancing, and are in desperate need of 4/4 songs that we can step along to easily.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

By "classical" ballroom music, are you looking for music authentic to the period, or simply some nice music you can use for walking across the stage? The first may be difficult to find, but there is no shortage of the second.

Just nice music, doesn't need to be authentic

Almost any moderate-tempo foxtrot would work. You probably want an instrumental; Frank Sinatra's voice wouldn't fit with Shakespeare. Here are a few titles. There are many more.

Laura (original version; the lyrics weren't written until after the movie made the song popular)
Moonglow
Pennies From Heaven
Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
The Way You Look Tonight
Why Do I Love You? (from Showboat)

These are all relatively old, but to someone born after these songs are new, they're "classical."

Nice suggestions . It might be worth mentioning that a 4/4 tune can be 24 bars per minute. Another 4/4 might be 50 B.P.M, which would probably not be suitable. Tangos now are also in 4/4 . I doubt if that would suit Shakespeare either. The Way You Look Tonight. Great choice.
