The preparation and evaluation of this list has been done by Jeff Allen a dance instructor for over 15 years who has worked with many hundreds of wedding couples. Jeff Allen is the author of Quickstart To Social Dancing, Quickstart To Tango, and the soon to be released Quickstart To Swing. He has also prepared The Complete Guide To Slow Dancing Video and Guide especially for those who choose any of the following songs in the slow ballad rhythm.

The Wedding Dance Music List © has over 450 songs grouped by song title in alphabetical order, the song's artist, the best generic dance rhythm, and the number of bars of music that occur in one minute. If you wish to evaluate the song by beats per minute, multiply the bars x 3 if it is a Waltz. On all the other dance types multiply by 4 for your total beats per minute. Although comprehensive, The Wedding Dance Music List can never be complete because people's tastes can be very different and can span any time of music's recorded history.
