Dancing is a unique experience

Where music and movement merge to create magic on the dance floor. But have you ever wondered which songs are the best based on your dance level and the rhythm you want to follow? Whether you're a beginner or an advanced dancer, here you'll find a selection of ideal songs to enjoy every step with confidence and style.

Beginners: Smooth songs with a clear rhythm

If you are taking your first steps into the world of swing, it's important to choose songs with a moderate tempo and a well-defined rhythm. This will allow you to practice your technique without feeling overwhelmed by speed.

Recommended for beginners:

Sing, Sing, Sing – Benny Goodman (110 BPM)

It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) – Duke Ellington (120 BPM)

Intermediate Level: More rhythm, more challenge

If you already have experience and feel comfortable with the basic steps, it's time to step up your game with faster tempo songs and rhythmic variations that will test your coordination.

Recommended for intermediates:

Jumpin’ at the Woodside – Count Basie (140 BPM)

Advanced: Maximum speed and energy

For the most experienced dancers, the challenge lies in speed and precision. These songs have high tempos and rhythmic changes that demand endurance, control, and creativity on the dance floor.

Recommended for advanced dancers:

Flying Home – Lionel Hampton (180 BPM)

How to choose the best song for you?

• Experience level: If you're a beginner, start with slower tempos and gradually increase the speed.
• Dance style: If you dance Lindy Hop, Balboa, or Charleston, some songs may be better suited to certain styles.
• Personal feeling: The best song is the one that motivates you and makes you feel the swing in every move.
