  List of ballroom and social dance albums - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This list of dance music is intended to aid partner dancing, and therefore it doesn't include most of disco music, hip-hop, rock and roll, and other highly danceable genres.
Further, a number partner dancing styles such as Salsa and Swing have dedicated albums, and they deserve their own lists.
Some are separately dedicated to Standard or Latin groups of dances, others are dedicated to a single ballroom dance.

The album was released on an adventurous fledgling label named Frontline Records, who at the time were barely a year old but have since become one of the heavyweight record companies in the Christian music industry.

 History of Salsa
When I first started to learn how to dance in the 50's I started with the mambo; then the cha-cha came out and before I knew it was doing salsa; of course not the way they do it today with the swings and turns; it was mostly in the hips.
Important is to know how to dance the Salsa with everybody else and that when the music plays, the dancers are able to find the same rhythm before half of the first dance is finished.
The women, perceptive as they are, noticed the men watching them and delighted in exaggerating the swivel and rotation of the hips as they walked, and soon began incorporating these movements in their dances, because the sensuality of the movement of the ladies' hips drove the men wild.
