Classics to Dance To (Classici da Ballo) – The Soundtrack of a Golden Era

In the late ’80s and ’90s, dance music found a new home — not just in clubs, but in CD racks across Europe. Leading the way was Dance Classics, the iconic series from Arcade.These weren’t just compilations. They were carefully curated time capsules of the best disco, funk, soul, and early dance from the ‘70s and ‘80s. No radio rips. No filler. Just original full-length tracks, often digitally remastered, wrapped in stylish covers with dancing silhouettes. For many, Dance Classics was more than music — it was an introduction to legends like Chic, Chaka Khan, Earth Wind & Fire, and Shannon. DJs built their sets with it. Parties came alive with it. And long drives turned into dancefloors with it. With dozens of volumes and special editions, the series became a living archive of rhythm and soul. And even now, those CDs still spin — in homes, clubs, and memories. Because true classics? They never fade. They dance forever.
