And don't forget that dancing involves repeated movements, which 
lend itself well to automated and looping sequences with just 
some camera movements... (did i hear somebody mumble "modern pop 
group/singer casting"? ;-)

Heh, "The Rusty Dancers" - the first automated boy group - no 
wait, wasn't that "Take That" or someone? ;-)

read your first paragraph above again ;-)

Well, you could include 5 seconds of "recommended listening: 
<song> by <artist>", then a countdown "5...4...3...2...1... PRESS 
PLAY ON TAPE" - thus keeping out of copyright and other issues...

("Press play on tape" - suddenly, i get this nostalgic 1980's 
Commodore 64 datasette feeling ;-)
