There are lots of good country waltzes that are very good. My favorite is "Slow Dance" by Michael Peterson. "Sandy's Song" by Dolly Parton is excellent also, but a trifle slow. "I See It Now" by Tracy Lawrence is very good also.

There are also a fair number of good country swings. I recall "Watermelon Crawl" by Tracy Byrd in particular.

Good country numbers for many ballroom dances are hard to come by, partly because country-specific dances like Texas Two Step take up much of the "musical space" that would be Foxtrot, Quickstep, etc. Also, Tango is a country dance, - just the wrong country. Good luck, hope this helps!

Faith Hill's "Beautiful" is a good Rumba/Bolero

If you're looking for songs to practice to, country or rock, you can download "danceables" on your iPhone or Android phone. It has a list of over 10,000 songs and the dance associated with it. It's pretty cool.

When looking for ballroom dance music it is important for it to be played at the right Tempo. To find out what is the right Tempo for each of the dances simply go to Wikipedia
List of Dancesport Dances. It is as simple as that.
