    Xuxa Dance is the 17th studio album and the fourth in Spanish by the Brazilian recording artist

    Christian de Walden and released in December 1996 by PolyGram in Latin America and Mercury Records in the United States.[1]

    Production

    After the release of her fourth

    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.

    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

    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.

    In addition to Argentina, Xuxa Dance was released in Mexico shortly after, and in the U.S., where it had a performed slightly better than its predecessor, El Pequeño Mundo, but not enough to be a hit.[5]

    Promotion

    To promote the album, Xuxa participated in several TV and radio programs, as well as giving interviews to newspapers and magazines in Argentina, Chile and the United States. The album's advertisement was broadcast throughout Latin America and the USA.[citation needed]

    Two songs had music videos, "Los Amigos de Mis Amigas Son Mis Amigos" and "Esto de Quererte", both recorded in Miami in April 1997. Months later, Xuxa recorded a new version of the video of "Los Amigos" with Paquitas[further explanation needed] at Pink House, her old mansion in Rio de Janeiro, for a TV show.

    In August 1997, Polygram released the South Beats compilation which included the remix version of "Yo te Doy mi Corazón".
