What sort of music would be required for a modern ballroom dance?

My sister is needding some ideas of music that would be needed in a modern ballroom dance for a project thagt she will be startin at the start of febuary, actually in a couple of weeks?

There are two types of dance that is called Modern. In one case, Ballroom and Modern are synonyms and can be used interchangeably. There is a different style of dancing that is Modern Ballet that is often referred to as Modern. Before you give her advice double-check which Modern is she referring to. If you mean "modern" as simply opposite to "outdated" – below are a couple of links.

You can find a lot of Ballroom music samples (with an option to buy CDs) on http://www.ballroomdancers.com/Music/ and http://www.danceshopper.com/ballroom-dance-music-standard

Ballroom has pretty strict tempo requirements. The above websites have put that into consideration; these albums are owned by many ballroom studios and competition organizers. You can check the tempi on http://usistd.org//index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=39&Itemid=51

    Modern Ballroom relates to modern artists.
    Shenia Twain is often played for a cha-cha (party for two)
    Celine Dion or Madona are often played for a Jive (I’m alive)
    Micheal Jackson for a cha-cha (Billy Jean)
    Sex on the Beach (for a merengue)
