Ideas please!

Post by Tapping Mum »

Am looking for music for a lyrical / acrobatic dance for my DD (she's 14) but she has been told it preferably has to be an instrumental version. Can't use our two favourite pieces of music (A thousand years / river flows in you) because they have or are already been used :-(

Despite searching the internet and you tube for ideas, I am lacking inspiration, has anyone got any ideas please :idea:

thank you x

A piano version of titanium by Sia? It sounds very lovely when slowed down.

A very unusual choice is an instrumental version of When My Guitar Gently Weeps (George Harrison). My DD used it once it was lovely

There is a beautiful bit from American Beauty soundtrack..
I think it's the bit where the rose petals are falling onto Mena survari..I have seen it danced before (ages ago) - stunning

Oh I adore this , the film is just superb isn't it ?
This is the "plastic bag " scene- so much beauty in the world.....
The one I am thinking of too, is "Arose" I think it's called
Also "Angela Undress" is wonderful too, but a bit short....
Thomas Newman is a genius, "PAy it Forward" has some lovely pieces too...
