The musical range from Schlager to club sound

The magic of Discofox lies in its enormous versatility. While classic German Schlager with its driving four-four time forms the traditional basis, more and more modern pop remixes and club tracks are conquering the dance floors. Anyone moving in a club or at a party quickly notices: almost every song in a moderate four-four time can be danced to wonderfully. For beginners and relaxed practice, tracks in the range of 115 to 120 BPM are suitable, as they leave enough time for clean turns. Advanced couples love the fast-paced play at 125 to 130 BPM, where the dynamics of the dance really come into their own. If you want to expand your repertoire of movements, it is worth taking a look at the Discofox figures, with which you can visually perfectly accompany any of these songs. Whether it is a nostalgic cult hit or fresh radio pop: the right speed determines how harmoniously the steps can be brought onto the dance floor.
