Elvis Presley™ Tunes by Dance Style

Elvis™ recorded over 700 songs and there are hundreds of remixes. For the competition, any song where Elvis™ is singing can be used.

Our official DJ, Matt Thomson has sorted some of these songs by dance style. This list is not all encompassing but can be a good starting point.
