Dancing with the Stars Season 11 Music Suggestions
Many of you probably don’t realize that Pure Dancing with the Stars got its big start by listing the music from Dancing with the Stars. It’s obviously grown way beyond just listing the music from DWTS, but the list of music from Dancing with the Stars is still a very popular part of the site. Of course, this means that we’ll still be posting the music on season 11 of Dancing with the Stars. Just click on that link and after each DWTS episode we’ll do our best to list the music with easy links to download the music from iTunes.
You can see the first 2 editions of out Dancing with the Stars music posts for this week here and here.
With that said, I thought it would be fun to list a bunch of songs that would be interesting to see on Dancing with the Stars season 11. Feel free to add your list of songs in the comments as well.

Ok, now it’s your turn. Let’s see your DWTS music list!








it seems to me that you basically took these from sytycd. not a bad idea. i think devotchka’s how it ends is pretty, but i’m not sure what that would go with. hmm…
Rooster,
Shhh…don’t blow my cover. What’s wrong with sharing great music;-) Plus, how cool would it be to compare the same songs done on both shows?
Actually I’d hoped to add a bunch more. In fact, Marianya has a killer list with dance included. We’ll post some from that later in the season.
I’m sure we’ll see a v. waltz to “The Only exception”
by Paramore.
I’d like a paso doble on “Uprising”
by Muse
A jive to Hawk Nelson’s “Live Life Loud”
would be cool I think.
I have always wanted to see a totally cheesy, overdramatic rumba to “The Flame”
by Cheap Trick. I also have the strange urge to hear “Flightless Bird/American Mouth”
by Iron & Wine used as a Viennese waltz…could happen if they do movie night, since it’s from Twilight.
I’m alright with cheesy and overdramatic dances. More content for the Cheesecake Awards: http://www.puredwts.com/category/dwts-cheesecake-awards/
I’m a fan of the disco/funk-type dances so I think it’d be fun to see a freestyle or cha cha cha to “Let’s Groove”
by Earth, Wind & Fire.

Would probably be fun as a all-pro season opener too.
a lot of songs from the past season of sytycd but i loved most of this songs.
DeVotchka’s “How It Ends”
was amazing in sytycd but the dwts band would kill this song in a really bad way
Jonathan did a great v.waltz to Anouk’s “Lost”
in sytycd ,but again the band.
great waltz song too,
Joshua Radin’s “Sundrenched World”
Janelle Monae’s “Tightrope”
i can see a cha cha to this ,or a quickstep.
I’d like to see Rick and Cheryl do a Quickstep to Sweet Georgia Brown
…. Harlem Globetrotters kind of vibe
Something by Enrique Iglesias to a Spanish number and I’d die and go to heaven!
@Voguerista, Baliamos is a great Samba beat, it was 11 years ago that Enrique had his first number one hit with that song.
Omg I love Piazolla, playing his music is a privilege. Good choice, John
Andie, good one. I’d love that!!
I also quite love Falling in Love in a Coffee Shop
by Landon Pigg. Very sweet VWaltz.
@Mandy, anything by Astor Piazolla is PERFECT.
is my favorite.
Libertango
@Mandy, anything by Astor Piazolla is PERFECT.
is my favorite.
Libertango
I wish they would use
, Carlos Gardel again. I remember it used only once with Tia Carrere back in season 2.
Por Una Cabeza
Tango for me is the ultimate dance.
This has nothing to do with music but here’s an interesting “BlindItem”
http://dlisted.com/node/38991
Things that make you go Hmm.
Hmmm…indeed.
So our choices are either Audrina/Tony or Jennifer/Derek, right? I kinda doubt either are involved in…hanky panky?? This wasn’t exactly a mainstream website, plus it’s just one person’s word – no paps around? Right. But the FUNNIEST thing about this article is “ceiling eyes” – OMG, I’m so freakin’ jealous that I didn’t think of that one. LOL.
BuzzPhoto is reputable. They’re papz agency like the one Henry and the other guy have.
I doubt it’s Jennifer/Derek becasue I dont’ see Jennifer that’ type/ Tony, on the other hand, has been pretty smitten by Adrina and it’s not because of her dance skills. Going to concerts and shopping together is more than other couples do.
Tony also has something of a reputation that makes me feel like he doesn’t feel married some of the time. Don’t know how true that is. I also think that once Derek is involved he’s not the straying type, despite what some of Shannon’s more ardent fans like to claim.
I’ve always wanted to see a Paso Doble done to “Everybody’s Fool”
by Evanescence. I know that Evan and Anna did one last season to a different Evanescence song (I think it was “Going Under”
), but I think it would be very cooooooool…
Also, how about a Quickstep to Billy Preston’s “Nothing from Nothing”
? Or a jive to “Still the One”
by Orleans?
Heeyyyy… most of these songs were used on SYTYCD this season.
I even have a few of them.
Just a lil’ introduction: My name is Lola and I’ve watched a respectable amount of DWTS episodes. I watched the season that Warren Sapp ended up as runner-up (I kindaaaa forgot the winner) and a few eps from last season. I’ve always wanted to study Latin ballroom, so this and SYTYCD have taught me a lot. Whenever I watch ballroom dancing shows from Mexico (I’m Mexican) I always critique them better than the judges, at least. All the judges on that particular show barely critique the contestants, so I do it instead.
Anyways, during SYTYCD I always went to PureSYTYCD, and I learned that John has a love for blondes.
I was known as the little twelve year-old Quest Crew fan who practically disagreed with everything that everyone else said. So I warned you: if you like a routine, there’s a 60% chance that I’ll disagree. For example, I didn’t really like Jennifer/Derek’s routine last week, and I LOOOVVVEEE Derek. I can be stubborn when I want to be. Although maybe it could be the fact that I don’t really like the Viennese Waltz. I feel that it’s just a bunch of twists and twirling to tacky music. 8)
Lola,
Glad to see you’ve come over from Pure SYTYCD to Pure DWTS. I do have a love for blondes. Although, I’m even more biased towards attractive women of any hair color;-)
Disagreements are welcome. We love different perspectives. We can disagree without it being personal.
I’d also like to see a rumba on “Come on get higher”
by Matt Nathanson
Tom Lehrer’s Masochism Tango!!!!!
