Since this is an Anime Convention it would be nice to keep the theme within the "Anime Spectrum" a pull a list of music that will closly match the music dance styles for each occasion. SEE BELOW FOR EXAMPLE:


Dance (waltz)

music: (Revolutionary Girl Utena MOVIE) -Toki Ni Ai Wa
          (Macross 2 -Do You Remember Love) -Mo Ichido Love You-
          (Megazone 23) -Kaze no Lulliby-
          (Final Fantasy X 2) -1000 Words-
          (Himikoden) -Pure Snow-

Dance (Swing)

Music: (Najica Blitz Tactics) -Body & Mind-
          (Burn Up Scramble)    -Love or Unlimited-
          (Lost Universe) -Extrication- (Freak Lounge REMIX)
          (New Cutey Honey) -Rendez-vous in Space-
          (Cowboy Bebop) -Tank

This would be just an example of matching anime style music to dance. It would be excellent to this again, there has not been a good "true" anime ball with "anime music in a long time. Maybe this year will be a little different!

Thank you everyone for your suggestions.  We are in the process of putting the music together for the Black and White Ball at the moment so keep those suggestions coming.  Please keep in mind that we are trying our best to select songs that are geared toward anime, video games, and j-pop.  The only thing is, many of the songs are hard to dance ballroom to and sometimes do not provide a steady danceable beat.  We do listen to all the songs and try to keep them within the theme of the dance but it is difficult at times. 

Keep those songs coming.  We are hoping to finalize the playlist by the end of April 2010 sound if you want to request any songs or have some great suggestions please let us know!

here are some good Night Club Two Step songs (the tempo is just right):

And it is true that most nightclub two step songs have a tempo of between 72 and 96 beats per minute...so yeah these are some examples.


I Could Fall in Love by Selena

One Sweet Day by Mariah Carey

Said I Loved You...But I Lied – Michael Bolton

Lady In Red – Chris De Burghe

Never Let You Go - Allure

Everything I Do I Do For You - Bryan Adams

Drowning In Your Eyes- Ephriam Lewis

Someone To Hold-- Trey Lorenz

Dreaming Of You-- Selena

If any of you have any more to add to this it would be grand! Just adding my two cents!

um i can definitely think of quite a few songs, but i don't really know that many "dance suggestions"
"We like to party" - venga boys (unsure appropriate) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zbi0XmGtMw - there are hip hop-like dance moves in the original music video, but i'm not sure if its possible to do them in formal attire, so this song is questionable
"Lilium" - Eflen Lied soundtrack - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaV6eDvgiG4 - slow waltz?
"Doubt & Trust" - d.gray-man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkAvajJW9N4&feature=related -
"Sha la la la" - venga boys - no series - the original music video does not have appropriate dance moves, but i think one could do west coast swing or country(?)
"Real Emotion" - Final Fantasy X-2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fByFORDcNLA - hip hop?
"Katekyo Hitman Reborn Chrome" - KHR (character theme songs) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCxexi7-sdw - unsure of dance
"KHR Mukuro" - KHR (character theme songs) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx3m1MVNbAc - ?
"Hibari" - KHR (character theme song) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SDWt9d-jMY - !!! waltz or tanga (i dont know its time signature)
"Belphagor" - KHR (character theme song) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsW1BQWP1C4 - unsure of dance
"Chairman's Waltz" - Memoirs of a Geisha - waltz
"Glaring Dream" - Gravitation OST - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rtA9aQ4njc - unsure of dance, but seems hip hop-y?
"Energy" - Marina Inoue - Ginban Kaleidoscope - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pnjq3lQ452A - definitely some ballroom dance, but unknown time signature to me, i think this is a real winner of a possible dance song
"Caramelldansen" - well... it seems really weird to suggest this... but i'm sure everyone knows the dance moves to it xD
"Love & Joy (Vocaloid ver)" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0EQzjJZ-rk - there's a complete dance to this one as well, but whether or not possible to attempt in formal attire is unknown
"Koakuma Shounen" - Nabari no Ou - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pd8y0HQiF50 - definitely sounds like waltz if it's 3/4 time, can't find a longer version?
"Musician" - Sanae Kobayashi/Yumi Mitora Kusakurin - D.Gray-man - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGMog9nzVGM - there's a download link too vocals (http://www.sendspace.com/file/agbxb0) karaoke (http://www.sendspace.com/file/mszrsi)  
"Hajimari No Hi" - D.N.Angel - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URlxMYEaInc
!! "Just Dance" - Lady Gaga
"Mukuro Theme Song Kufufu no fu" - Katekyo Hitman Reborn - maybe we can use it for jazz(?)

*most of the songs i wanted to suggest are already there so don't need to repeat
*most of these songs are i'm-not-sure as well ...

At the black and white ball in 2008, you played The Dance of the Headless Corpse by Zombie Girl.  That was the perfect song.  We all had such a great time dancing to it.  It brings back lots of memories.  ^.^

So I guess I'm saying that I want it to be played this year.  =p

Walt_Duo

Tonight - Smashing Pumpkins - Unknown dance style, possibly waltz

OniCourseMusha

 I noticed half of the song request here doesn't seem waltzable when people claim they are.  B&W Ball is looking for any slow waltz and sadly we're not looking for any V Waltz.  The beat has to have steady 3 count not 4 (Tonight by Smashing Pumpkin is a 4 count) and it has to be very slow  (Listen to Waltz of Chihiro).  Just ask one of the dance assistance including myself and the dance instructor.

Thanks for your post.  The instructors and staff are looking over the songs that have been suggested by everyone.  We thank you for all your submissions and we ask that you keep them coming.  We are listening to every song that is suggested on the forums and we are making decisions on which ones to include into the playlist for BWBall.  Keep in mind, although the song you suggested may not be suitable for a certain dance, it can be suitable for a different dance.  Also, your suggestions are great leads to what kind of songs you would like to hear at the BWBall so we are making an effort to make sure we include similar songs in there also.  Keep those suggestions coming!

I have a few suggestions, most from anime and video gaming:

EDIT!!   Updated with links to the music. And a couple more song suggestions. XD

Prelude ~We Are Not Alone~ - Fumi Ootou - Yoake Mae Yori Ruri Iro na ~Crescent Love~ - Waltz or any slow-dance
..... Notes: One of my random obscure anime picks. This song is really pretty and reminds me of a prince and a princess dancing in a ballroom a la 'Beauty and the Beast'. It has a sort of... swaying tune. Perfect for Waltz.
Linkage:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olwWEuv-Ybs


Marukaite Chikyuu (HRE Version) - Jun Konno - Hetalia Axis Powers - Some sort of regency dance...? Victorian something-or-other? I dunno what they're called....
..... Notes: I always pictured the character who sings this version asking one of the other characters to dance with him for this... >w<
Linkage:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CjJtgNjgq8  ((This is only a preview, but there is a download link in the video description for the full song. I also have the Mp3 and I can provide it upon request.))

Lullaby For You - Jyongri - The World Ends With You - Slow-dance
..... Notes: Reminds me of one of those slow dances you'd see in a movie.
Linkage:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7j6eFND_i0 (Japanese)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGqpMIMt8K4 (English)


Inori ~You Raise Me Up~ - Lena Park - Romeo X Juleit - ...not sure?
..... Notes: This one's pretty, and I think I'd love to figure out a use for this one on a dance floor. Probably good for slow dancing. Again. All my suggestions turn out this way. ^^;
Linkage:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oph966TNNrg


Open Your Mind - Youko Ishida - Aa! Megami-sama - It's in 12/4 time (I think) which makes me unsure if it's slow enough for Waltz...
..... Notes: Same as the song above. XD
Linkage:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JX0QOObWWyQ


Obsession (String Version) - not sure? - .hack//SIGN - I have no clue what this could be used for but it'd be cool to try!
..... Notes: Has a flowing sound, also kind of exotic. I could see this used for something. I'm just not sure what exactly.
Linkage:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0LYrKLr8nU


To All Tha Dreamers - SOUL'd Out - Yakitate! Ja-PAN - Dare I say it--DISCO??
..... Notes: This one's upbeat and I could see this used with the Electric Slide even. :D
Linkage:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZvQPjx6Ko8&feature=related


Guns & Roses - Paradise Lunch - Baccano! - Swing
..... Notes: I think that if no one else has suggested this yet we all need to give ourselves a slap on the wrist. Definitely upbeat enough to get the party swingin' -- literally! Best jazz tune from an anime EVER. I love Baccano~
Linkage:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wInHktd7hU


Cha Cha Slide - Mr. C The Slide Man - No Series - The Dance in the Song!!
..... Notes: This dance is HILARIOUS fun. Really easy to learn, AND the lyrics tell you the moves!
Linkage:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCEu_dFfw6I

Last but not least, because my friend who's attending Fanime for the very first time won't shut up about this scene in Enchanted,

So Close - John MchLaughlin - In this particular case, Enchanted - Waltz
Notes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UuWQndTXKM&feature=related <-- Explains itself.

Dunno why, but Trust Me by Yuuya Matsushita from Durarara!! sounds like it could be used for one kind of dance or another.

The full version is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNGBm8n_PN0&feature=related

EDIT:

Don't know how this slipped past my radar when picking songs, but:

I know not all have a specific dance, but I also know that I lack in dance knowledge, so I was suggesting them in the hopes that they may provide useful. Some were sort of random, but I couldn't leave them out.
Thank you for reading, if I think of anything else, I shall post it!
