I imagine there will soon be a lot of ghoulish dancing by singles and couples dressed up to be something they ain’t. Because sometimes it’s hard to figure out what type of dance goes to the music, I’ve matched up some classic Halloween music with the dances that you could do to them.

Although it would be hard to put together a full 1.5 – 2 hour playlist of spooky songs, any of the following Halloween music will serve as fillers to your regular dance music. Therefore, you can enjoy the holiday spirit as you boogie to classic tunes.

When it comes to picking a dance, you have a few choices.

Hopefully, you love Swing dancing because it goes great with Halloween music.
