Sara,
Well, here's a more expensive solution...but less expensive than an
infringement on copyright might cost one day.
I once worked at a school that purchased a Karaoke machine with a variable
speed knob that could be adjusted for a tape being played. We used it with
special education students in different teaching situations (music, physical
education activities, plays, performances, etc.). Although I am not
advocating that they STOP dancing to the Cotton-Eyed Joe, it would also give
them the opportunity to use other music once they have grown tired of line
dancing! *grin*
Here's a link to one of the variable speed Karaokes for tapes:

Here's one with a CD player and variable speeds:

You might check in catalogs for educational sound equipment or catalogs for
special education products that include sound equipment. Often the prices
may be a little less expensive than those I've given you. However, you can
also check locally to see if there might be products in stores like Best
Buy, Circuit City, etc.
Hope this helps.
