Hello Everyone,

I am the organiser for a big band,and we have recently been booked for a charity dance ball. We will play for about 3 hours with breaks of course.

Since we are inexperienced at playing for dancers I need some advice on how a typical repetoire for a dance ball might look.

I imagine in 3 hours we will be playing around 40 pieces. I would like to know how many walzes, how many Rumba, Foxtrot, Slow Fox, etc etc.

The audience is likely to be fairly mixed in terms of both age and dance ability. There will also be an experienced dance pair attending so I imagine that they will be at least a small number of the more difficult dances.

Many thanks for any help!

David
