Xuxa Dance is the 17th studio album and the fifth in Spanish by the Brazilian recording artist Xuxa. It was produced by Christian de Walden and released in December 1996 by PolyGram in Latin America and Mercury Records in the United States. [1]
After the release of her fourth Spanish-language studio album El Pequeño Mundo (1994), Polygram decided to bet on an album completely different from the Xuxa's previous one. This time, the label wanted her to sing for the audience that had grown up with her. At the label's request, the Italian composer and producer Christian de Walden began writing some songs for the project with Max di Carlo and Graciela Carballo, who had worked with Xuxa since her first Spanish album, Xuxa 1 .
The recordings for Xuxa Dance were made in July 1996 at the Flamingo Café Recording Studio in Miami, Florida (USA), produced by Christian de Walden and Max di Carlo and co-produced by Walter Clissen. Xuxa recorded 14 songs for the project, and only two did not enter the final selection. Along with the project in Spanish, Xuxa recorded the Christmas music "Amém", performed in several of the presenter's specials, and later recorded for XSPB 9 – Magical Christmas (2009). All material was recorded within two weeks.
Initially, the album was to be released in September, scheduled for the premiere of a new Xuxa show on Telefé, an Argentine broadcaster. With the uncertainty of the project, the album was postponed to November. The album label was different in some countries. There are three different versions: green, pink and white. The recordings of the music videos of "Los Amigos de Mis Amigas Son Mis Amigos" and "Esto de Quererte" also took place in Miami.
The work is composed basically of dance/electronic music, a few ballads and a cover version of "Ilarié" which is nothing more than a remix with re-recorded vocals.
