This page contains some music resources for those wishing to practise at home, or who are looking for ideas and references to begin collecting swing music. The selections below are tailored to specific needs and organised in tempo.

These playlists only scratch the surface – if you want more, there are individual playlists attached to the pages for each of our social dance events, to get you in the mood for social dancing. Just click the links for the event pages below.
