Who does the sound track music for House? Want to know who does the soundtrack music or the tv show House, and where I might find it online. I'm not referring to the theme song by mezannine, nor the various songs played at the end of each episode. The music I'm looking for is the contemporary mixture of bells, chimes, gong sounding instruments and other synthesized sounds that play throughout an episode. Usually to emphasize critical points in the plot and stuff. I found that it sounds similar to the music of Thomas Newman and Jonathan Elias. If anyone has any idea where I can find this music, it would be much appreciated.

I went to a club that played house music and I didn't know how to dance? I recently went to a club that played house music with a latin flavor and wasn't sure how to dance to it. The girls there were dancing what seemed like a combination of cuban salsa and rave moves. And the guys were doing something that looked like the robot, but not quite. Sorry, I'm not sure what that style is actually called. Also, when the dj let the music die down for a bit there was lots of clapping in the crowd. I'd like to learn how to dance like the people at the club, but I don't have a background in dance and so I'm not sure what to pay attention to when watching other people dance. I'm not as interested in the robot type stuff as much as in the salsa/ rave style. Thanks.
