Say you had a room about the size of a racket ball court in orbit.  
Now, let us do some ballet…

Apart from the Robinson-style Stardance, and no 2001 Strauss…

What are some good zero-gee songs?

I submit the Cure’s [Lullaby](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEx7pkmFc6s).

Not as peppy as yours, and I’m sure we needn’t limit ourselves to space themes, but the first thing I thought of: XTC’s [Another Satellite](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nnh-HIzqT2s)

Sorry, no vid.

I don’t know about ballet, but I understand the crew of Apollo 12 danced to “Sugar Sugar” by the Archies on the way to the moon.
