Hello Terry Christie,

That is different for each individual. You need to keep in mind if the person is cleared for a low, medium or high intensity level. Then their age, heartrate, and range of motion with limb length come into play. Therefore, there is not a numerical answer for this question.

With no potential problems to consider, the music tempo for a group class, as stated in the ACE Group Fitness Instructor Manual suggests:
100-130 tempo or B.P.M. You will want to decide if the music is in the foreground or background, also.
Take care.

It totally depends upon what you are trying to accomplish.
I never let music dictate, personally I concentrate on teaching a well organized, intelligent, well rounded, sensible class.
If you took the certification to teach this particular class, they any have music hints in their manual.

I suggest below 130 bpm. My preferred bpm is 125-127.
