Masquerade Music Requests/Suggestions

[ChibiBritt]

Hiya!

If you have a song or two you would like us to look into, please post here.

What kind of music should I suggest?

- Ballroom music (Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Quickstep etc.)
- Music from anime, games, and music that originates from Japan that is dance-able in a ballroom setting


Need ideas? Check out this site:
http://www.ballroomdancers.com/Music/



What type of music should I NOT suggest?

- Rap
- Dubstep
- Electronic Dance Music
- Pop (That isn't actually dance-able in a ballroom setting)




This thread will be open for a few months.

We will listen to all suggestions posted, however please understand we cannot play ALL suggested music.

There will be NO requests at the actual event so please make sure to get in suggestions before the convention!

THIS is the song I want to hear the most at the Masquerade please please please.


Of course I'm going to suggest this especially since myself and my friend will be cosplaying this scene. XD


I suggested this last year and hopefully it's still ok for this year.


The original or his piano versions are both lovely.

Oktavia Von Seckendorff's Theme from Madoka Magicka needs to happen again, that song was GORGEOUS
Waltz for the Moon from Final Fantasy VII needs to happen
The Riddle from the Scarlet Pimpernel
Love Will Find A Way from Lion King 2
Far Longer Than Forever from Swan Princess
Once Upon a December from Anastasia (of course, hehe)
Tango Maureen from RENT (for something a lil' more upbeat, but I prefer the slower stuff)
Waltz of the Damned(Diamond) from Kingdom Hearts 2

Woops, lol, I got carried away. Sorry!

Maybe the OST from Black Butler? Also, I don't know if these songs are too slow, but, how about River flows in you and/or Kiss the Rain by Yiruma?

We're planning for a Rocky Horror group this year which would be more appropriate.

As a swing dancer, I'd love to hear some classic swing and blues, and if allowed, some electro swing!

Here are some of my suggestions.

Classic:

Basically everything here - http://sharemyplaylists.com/vintage-swing-and-blues

Electro:

The same with this - http://sharemyplaylists.com/looiselectroswing-jazz



If I hear any of these while at the ball, you'll know I'll be on the floor!

[Derp]

Well, i can't go because i'm to young but i'd like to still suggest some songs!

[KotORBF2Revan]

The Swingle Singers version of "Libertango":



If you find acapella unacceptable, here's the original, I think:



I don't know if this one's danceable in a ballroom setting, but...:

[Fate]

Waltz for the Moon from Final Fantasy VIII is one that is perfect but there is one song I have been wanting to dance to for afew years now but I don't know how to dance or have a partner so the dancing lessons wil help and I hope to find partners to dance with. That one song I would love to hear and dance to would be Broken Wings by Tomoko Tane - Trinity Blood Ending. I know its just a suggestion but its is worth a try, its a beautiful song, thank you for your consideration. ^-^

[Fate]

For those of you who haven't heard the song Broken Wings that I'm suggesting you should really listen to it, its beautiful to me in my opinion. Here is the short version with lyrics so you can all hear it, its nice and if you think it might belong in the music for the dance support it like all the other great songs being suggested on here by everyone. ^-^

It would be could if you could teach a group dance like:
