This is actually a really cool idea - I hope the powers that be catch wind of it. Fitting as well- if the numbers are correct, STEP started in the 80's as well. The only downside is selecting 12 songs from the hundreds that we all know and love (and unashamedly have on regular rotation in our iPods ).

What a list! Totally 80's and totally cheezy - I remember my younger years...yuk, my hair style... and the clothes I wore... Know most of those songs by heart, tragic isn't it? LOVE your selection!

Any music from the 1980's, 70's, 60's.  ALL the music in BS releases SINCE #66 have been absolutely horrific, we have lost a tremendous number of steppers because of it, and if this hasn't been passed on to you, it means that the powers that be don't read the blah's or listen to instructors or participants comments.

Hmmmm.....odd. The instructors and participants here in Austin, TX love most all the music. I am always amazed with each new release.  Just when I think one is my favorite, a new better one comes out.

Thanks Mark! So many great songs to choose from. Here's a few i thought of

99 luftballoons by Nena,

Faith by George Michael,

she drives me crazy by Fine Young Cannibals,

With or Without You by U2 (one of my fav's possibly for cooldown),

Electric Avenue by Eddy Grant,

Jesse's Girl by Rick Springfield,

Manic Monday by The Bangles,

Hi Mark.  I polled my class tonight for their thoughts... this is for them so why not give them a voice.  

Here are their choices:

Bizarre Love Triangle

Sunglasses at Night

I think we're There Now - By Tiffany

Mickey - by Toni "something"

There you have them as given by the Monday 530 class at the Argyle GoodLife in London Canada.

 Thanks, you made their day - that was with the BodyStep 76 release, the music choice was a bonus.

 See you in a few weeks in Toronto.
