Video: Top 5 Gloria Estefan dance jams

Fact: Gloria Estefan has dedicated much of her 20 plus years in music to getting buns on a dancefloor. Be it shaking it to 80's Latin-tinged pop smashes or straight up Cuban danzón hits, our very own Queen of pop has never failed.

So get on your feet (or at least chair dance a little) for our top 5 Gloria Estefan dance jams, we are sure to encourage major fancy footwork on her tour of Latin America.

"Conga" (1985)

This is the single that launched Mrs. Estefan into international superstardom! We like to consider this one Gloria's first successful attempt to get the rhythmically impaired on the dance floor without shame.

"Rhythm is Gonna Get You" (1987)

Oh, Gloria, the rhythm had us a "OH-EH, OH-EH!"

"Get On Your Feet" (1989)

This track's optimism is irresistible!

"Mi Tierra" (1993)

Gloria is always best in her natural element: pure, classic tropical rhythms.This duet with Marc Anthony live is tops.

"Oye" (1998)

BOOM! BOOM! BOOMING sexy sounds from La Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine! The percussion is so tight it makes play air drums/timbales. The kicker is her outfit in this performance = the sartorial equivalent of this song...you know, for the 90s and all.

"No Llores" (2007)

Gloria Estefan - No Llores

Estefan goes back to her roots with this danzón track. Points for rounding out the Latin power with guitarists Santana and José Feliciano as well as Sheila E. on timbales on this song, too cool.

Another reason to admire Gloria

Hi,

There is one other reason to admire Gloria. While other people go around becomming famous without a university/college education Gloria is one that actually dose have a college/university level education. She graduated from the University of Miami, Florida with honors in Psychology/Communications with a minor in French. That's not an easy thing to do. Not many other famous people out there can say that they have this level of education. All power to her.
