I had a request for sharing my warm up music, so here's the info...
I have a standard set of three pieces of music, that I use all the time. It helps me to judge my timing, it creates a sense of familiarity and comfort, it helps everyone get into their dance zone. It's the music that I use for the basic Mobilisation part of the warm up.
The first piece is Caravane, by Radar and Christophe Goze
Spotify link
The second piece is Marco Polo by Loreena McKennitt
Spotify link
The third warm up song is Desert Dancer by Nickodemus (feat. Andrea Monteiro)
This one is quite hard to find - this is a remixed version that comes up in searches, but I'm afraid I haven't been able to find an online version of the mix that I use in my warm ups.

After the Mobilisation part of the warm up, I go on to the dance warm up, which is about pulse-raising and practising basic technique and hopefully revisiting moves that were covered in the previous week(s). That music changes every week, depending on my mood and maybe on the musical styling I want to focus on in that lesson.
If I'm using music that you like, and want to know what it is, just ask! C is always asking me about music, and I can usually find it in Spotify on her phone at the end of the class, and if I can't find it immediately (usually because it's a song in Arabic, and I need to use a bit more searching, copying and pasting than I can easily do on someone else's phone!), I can email the details later.
