We play music for ballroom dancing. Our music is melodious. You can hum it. We love our fans. We love our dancers.Gotta Dance Lively Entertaining Variety Toe Tapping Romantic MelodiousTIME TO UPDATE THIS SITE Yes it is time. My dear friend Roland Fabbrie passed away in October 2007. It is time to go on and time to update the info on this site. Roland is missed. Roland was an inspiration to me. Thank-you my friend.All the above describe the music as played by Dancetime With Linda. Linda Herman is on Midi Accordion and vocals. Yes I said the A word - ACCORDION. This is no ordinary accordion however. It is the Roland V Accordion, the latest electronic wonder from the Roland Corp.My music can be described as “Music for Old People”, however anyone can enjoy my music. Ah, but ballroom dancing is for everyone and can be quite demanding on your body. Just ask those appearing on Dancing With The Stars. I know for a fact that dancing keeps you “young”, no matter how old or young you are.To dance to my music, you will be dancing the foxtrot, swing, rhumba, cha cha, tango, samba, mambo, waltz, country, line dance and even polka. I feature music from the 20's to the present. Sorry, if you are a die hard rock fan you probably won’t be interested in this music. It is not deafening. It does not use four letter words. It is ballroom dance music and easy listening. It has melodies that will linger in your head and will make you want to sing along. It will calm your body. It will bring out that romantic person you really are. You will want to take that special someone in yours arms and glide across the floor.Just who is Dancetime With Linda? Linda Herman, that’s me, is the “head honcho”. I am from Iowa originally. (Oh a four letter word). I have been playing in “dance bands” since I was a teenager in Iowa. I enjoy playing music and making people happy. Dancers are happy, healthy people. I have appeared on the Johnny Carson Show, accompanied variety acts on shows across the country, played on cruise ships and in casinos. I find I enjoy playing music for dancers the most rewarding. Thru the years I have made many lasting friendships. Wow to be able to play music and make a living and make other people happy has to be the ultimate happiness for a person. Some of my other interests are golf, bowling, bicycle riding, red convertibles and just relaxing.What is Dancetime with Linda doing at the present? You will find me in the Los Angeles area playing music for various clubs including the San Gabriel Elks every Wednesday afternoon (some 20 years), Leisure World in both Seal Beach and Laguna Woods, 49ers Dance Club in Lancaster, Paramount Dance Club and many birthday and anniversary parties. Our fans are “older” yet dancing keeps them young. They are loyal and they are friends. Many are like my extended family. I am also selling cd’s and downloads at cdbaby.com. There you can listen to two minutes of each song and get a good idea of the music.
