Introduction

For New Vogue and Sequence Dances, dancers require music with a strict 8, 16, and 32 bar melodic phrase through the whole track. Many composers and arrangers delight in inserting 1,2,4 or 6 bar codas between melodic phrases, making it unaesthetic to dance to with a sequenced dance. Here I have popped a list of some records and tracks that adhere to the strict phrasing throughout the whole piece.

Note: I dont actually sell CDS. For this I suggest you contact for example :
