Waltz song

I liked all the songs really, but I really liked the rhythm of the 'By Strauss' song. Does anyone know of a more instrumental version or song that's like that one, that's also more danceable? (which I know isn't a word, but you get my drift).

I'm a little late in replying, but the rhythm is 3/4-time, or "waltz" time. Strauss was known as the Waltz King. There are many many waltzes, and they are very danceable.
