Pro Tip:

Notice how these tracks alternate between "smooth" and "hot" Swing styles? That’s no accident – great dancers match their movement energy to the song’s personality. Try playful Charleston kicks to the faster tracks and flowing turns to the smoother jazz numbers.

Put these tracks on shuffle at your next social dance or kitchen practice session. Within minutes, you’ll find your pulse syncing with the off-beats, your shoulders loosening up, and that unmistakable Swing grin spreading across your face. Now get out there and swing out!
