 Because
you have asked for it, and because we like to listen to your comments
:o), below is a list of all the swing, jazz and other related
music we listen and dance to.
Note that for each category, we give the type of dance that
is best adapted to this style of music. This is rather a rule
of tumb than a definit answer. In classes, we mainly play song
in the "Neo-Swing" and "Simili Neo-Swing"
categories. See our styles of swing
section for more details.
