		<description><![CDATA[The rich, golden sound of the Gunter Noris Orchestra makes it pre-eminent among the world&#8217;s best dance bands. For many years
American dancers preferred it over any other dance band.  That
is why &#8220;Gunter Noris Plays Requests 2&#8243; is my
favorite instrumental 10-dance album. Two tracks
in particular have made it famous:  &#8220;Irish Green&#8221;
waltz and &#8220;Rumba Dulaine&#8221;. [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=telemarkmusic.wordpress.com&blog=869534&post=25&subd=telemarkmusic&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Another in Casa Musica&#8217;s Original Hits for Dancing series, this CD is a collection billed as &#8220;Latin-Flavoured Hits selected by Dancesport-DJ Berry Bleij.&#8221;
About half of the cuts on this CD from Casa Musica are strong, with most having a contemporary Latin sound. Whereas so often, a Samba featuring [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=telemarkmusic.wordpress.com&blog=869534&post=22&subd=telemarkmusic&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Overall rating:  B+
A good collection of Latin pop hits remade in strict tempo by Prandi Sound. Often remakes of Latin music by Ballroom orchestras are flat—but not this time. Naturally, this music doesn&#8217;t have as much heat as the original Latin versions, but it does a pretty good [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=telemarkmusic.wordpress.com&blog=869534&post=21&subd=telemarkmusic&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Joan took the German CD IRGENDWANN to a children&#8217;s class, thinking that the waltz and the foxtrot would be suitable for teaching beginners.
