No problem. I'd recommend anything by Arnold Rosner or Christopher Rouse.
There's a marvelous sampler on Argo called "Dance Mix" with a bunch of
contemporary composers, all eminently listenable.
A partial list follows (no composer born before 1940) of music I've heard
in the last few years available on CD:
Adams: Gnarly Buttons, Violin Concerto, John's Book of Alleged Dances
Kernis: New Era Dance
Daugherty: Metropolis Symphony
Rabushka: Harp Concerto
Scurria: Beyond All Walking
Zaimont: Serenade to Music, Symphony No. 1, Elegy for Strings, choral music
Schiff: Divertimento from "Gimpel the Fool"
