Dancing
Oracle will of course be bringing our usual variety of oldies, country, Motown and classic rock as well as a hefty dose of the current hits of today. We'll be performing the most popular dance music written over the course of the past 60 years or so.In addition, we will be adding several numbers that you have perhaps never heard us perform before, including some unique line dances and traditional songs. From cha-chas to line dances, from waltzes to tangos, we'll mix it all up to make for an evening dancers will love!
Dancing will be non-stop from beginning to end. When the band takes an occasional break local DJs from the Filipino community will take over to keep the music going. From American classics to Pinoy favorites, they will all be represented.
