Essential Swing from dogpossum on 8tracks.
Direct link to this 8tracks set which includes one song from each of these albums.
Our students keep asking us for music recommendations, so I’ve put together a list of albums I consider ‘essential’ swing for new dancers, or [...]
If you dance a bit slower, I’ll actually be able to see all your win.
If you dance a bit slower, I’ll also be able to see all the bits you fake.
Here, watch this video of Naomi and Skye last year. Nothing is fake. Everything is awesome.
I’m quite liking this new trend in jazz/dance videos. I like the high quality of the videos, I like the editing, I like the relaxed dancing styles, I like the way they’re doing a very good job of selling lindy hop to a mainstream audience. Not so struck on the body image stuff, but to [...]

Bellyache Ben & the Steamgrass Boys
If you like ol timey music, you should check out Bellyache Ben and the Steamgrass Boys. They do a version of ‘Oh Death’ that I’d DJ at a blues dancing event fo SHO.

You’ve Got to Give me Some – Cecile McLorin Salvant
I’m preparing for DJing a blues party on Australia Day eve, and I’ve hit a clump of Cecile McLorin Salvant. More please.
I’ve never seen Lexi DeRock and the Sugarfoot Blues Brigade live, but they have some audio clips on their site which sound ok, though a bit rough. They’re based in Melbourne, and I think they might be worth keeping an eye on, particularly for blues dancing gigs.
I’ve been a bit meh about the dancing I’ve seen around the place lately. Same old, same old. And then Lone Star brought the goods. More specifically, junky got a fix.
Bethany and Stefan.
The remainder of this post is 100% fan squee. While I might have big love for dancers like Skye, Bethany and [...]
