Hello from the other side, it's me @MarreFitbit hahahaha! 
I know, I know...the workout soundtrack can be a very personal thing. Certainly there's no perfect pump-up song, but there is science behind getting the most out of your exercise playlist. And it applies whether your music library swings toward rap, indie, country, or classical.
Load up the first section of your playlist with bass-heavy tracks for your warmup. According to a new study from Northwestern and Columbia universities, music with a strong underlying beat makes people feel powerful. The authors recommend this bass-is-best approach for athletes heading out for competition, but it'll also help you get in a powerful mindset for a hard workout.
The mid-workout portion of your playlist is the trickiest, but a key quality to look for is beats per minute (bpm). The higher the bpm, the faster the song—which can motivate your to move faster along with the rhythm. Generally, you'll want songs with about 130 bpm. But different ranges of bpm suit different activities. Some suggestions for different parts of your fitness regimen, based on research by Brunel University music-and-fitness psychologist Costas Karageorghis:
Mental preparation: 90-100 bpm
Stretching/yoga: 100-110 bpm
Strength training: 110-130 bpm
Cardio: 120-140 bpm
There's not a ton of popular music that goes above 140 bpm (Pharell's "Happy" is one example, at 160 bpm), but that's okay: Karageorghis' research finds that there seems to be a "ceiling" of about 140 bpm, after which it won't really push your performance further.
If you're running, it can be helpful to match your footfalls to the beat of your music, but because every person's stride strength is different (even when traveling the same speed), there's no easy formula for doing that.
To get an idea of how well your favorite songs suit your cadence, use a site like songbpm.com, which will tell you the bpm of any song you input.
And it doesn't hurt to try some old standbys (sometimes backed by science!). "Experts we've worked with tell us that 'Eye Of The Tiger' by Survivor is the perfect song. And the music researchers from Northwestern and Columbia found that the three most powerfully-rated songs in the sports and hip-hop genres (out of 31 songs tested) were "We Will Rock You" by Queen; "Get Ready for This" by 2 Unlimited; and "In Da Club" by 50 Cent. Cook also cites research that women tend to move in time to the beat when they exercise more than men, so ladies may especially appreciate "pop songs with regular rhythms," like Rihanna's "We Found Love".

BTW, next week I'll start with my bachata and salsa classes.. I'm so excited guys! Fast, easy, and fun to learn, it is a great dance to get your feet “wet” in the exciting world of Latin dancing! In this easy to follow eight week course, I will learn all the basics of Bachata, the most romantic of the four Latin nightclub dances. The academy told me that all students start with a warm-up that teaches the basic steps and simple turns. I'm ready to learn to get close with my dance partner in this dance style that originated in the Dominican Republic – no partner is necessary, as everyone rotates in class! While learning the basic step for this dance is easy, this dance is definitely all about hips and attitude!
.Share your songs for our workouts! 
I never thought I'd like Bachata so much, plus the dance moves are all about connection and synergy with your partner. 
and hips too, just like you said!
