Traditional English/Irish/Scottish/Welsh

I've been watching Strictly come dancing recently (my mum has been learning ballroom & latin sequence dancing for 8 years plus). Anyway on the show they tend to use 'pop' music to dance to. I wondered what Trad Brit tunes/songs would suit what dances? Any suggestions?

(I know waltzes are a bit obvious, but what about quickstep, foxtrot, paso doble, tango, Argentinean tango, jive, salsa, samba, charleston?)

My ideas were:
outlandish knight - maybe a paso doble or a Argentinean tango?
courting too slow - Rumba
Dark girl dressed in blue - Quickstep?
Seamos polka - charleston
