Music to choreograph a waltz to?

Question

So my friend is going to choreograph a waltz for her ballroom class, but she needs some ideas for music.

The only idea she has so far is to have to the guys in white suits (or white pants and a white shirt) and the girls long flowing white dresses. Then she wants to put it all in black light. :D

She has two ideas for a theme. Either have the music be really creepy and the costumes be kind of tattered to look like ghosts, or have the music be such that it's like a dream.

I'm not a dancer, so don't even know where to start here...

Any ideas?

Answer 1

I love "The Chairman's Waltz" from the "Memoirs of a Geisha" soundtrack.

It fits both of the descriptions perfectly!

Answer 2

"Waltz in Black" - The Stranglers

Ignore the video, just listen the the music. Although there are carnival undertones, it still strikes me as a little creepy. On the other hand, maybe carnival outfits would be an interesting alternative.

Or for something much more obscure:

"The Death Waltz" - ???
