Classical Dance

MP3 recordings with a classic pedigree and a percussive delivery on steel drums and marimba. A great deal of classical music comes from an obvious dance background like Chopin's Mazurkas and some was written to provide music to dance to like the polkas and waltz's of Strauss, the Ragtime Dance of Scott Joplin and the Nutcracker Suite by Tchaikovsky which was commissioned for a ballet. Brahms Hungarian Dance No3  Chopin Mazurka Opus 24_2 Debussy Golliwog's Cakewalk Dvorak Slavonic Dance No 10 Faure Dolly Suite Kitty Valse  Handel Hornpipe from Water music Scott Joplin's Ragtime Dance The Offenbach Can Can from Orpheus in the Underworld Saint Saens Danse Macabre Strauss Pizzicato Polka  Tchaikovsky Russian Dance
