Hey guys, I go to a private christian schools and they dont have nearly enough school dances so me and a few friends started a little commitee to plan and run out of school dances.
Anyways I decided to help out with two things. The music and the soundproofing (we are having it in a garage).
Do you guys have any reccommendations for dancing music?
Im gonna have a bit of Michael Jackson and some Prince and some clapton for slow dances. Do you guys have any suggestions? Im working on it with a girl who likes modern music so she pretty much has that part going. Im working more on classic dance music. Anyone have any ideas?

In that case you have to play I Touch Myself by the DeVinyls. (Insert evil snicker here..)

Switching to Glide - The Kings
We're Here for a Good Time - Trooper
New Orleans is Sinking - Tragicaly Hip

Okay, now my brain has seized up, but that's some if you want to keep the tunes somewhere near rock (and not too new).
"You want WHAT on the *&%#ing ceiling?" - Michelangelo, 1566
Not sure how your defining modern but 80's dance parties are big these days so if the girl isn't checking it out then I'd go with any dance music from the 80's, there's tons of it.
"It's all about stickin it to the man!"
It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll!
If you go to a christian school you may wanna play a bit of Slayer. Things are bound to get interresting with that.
