Is it wrong to listen to classical music inspired by dance?

I know the church's stance on dance, but I wanted to know if it's wrong to listen to classical music inspired by dance or that involves dancing without it inspiring me to dance! like, for example, some ballet classics, waltzes, because when I hear that it doesn't inspire me to dance, not to mention baroque music inspired by dances

Like Brahms' Hungarian Dances?  Or waltzes?  Hardly.  Dance is considered immoral due to the physical interaction and not due to the music itself.

There is no intrinsic evil in dance. Much depends on how and with whom and for what purpose you dance.
