This Weekend is Swingin’ New England and Tessa Antolini has convinced me to come out of retirement and compete with her Friday night at 10:30. Its a “Strictly Swing” competition so we know who our partner is going to be (each other) but the music is up to the DJ. This has the potential to be interesting, entertaining, or a complete disaster (only in my convoluted thought process). If the DJ decides to challenge the group by playing brand new swing or blues music that non of us have heard before the competition will be interesting for me. If he/she plays a swing or blues song that we all know the entertainment factor will rise significantly for the audience. The disaster will happen if the DJ decides to play music that is not swingable like this song that was played at Summer Hummer…It will probably only be a disaster for me because I am looking forward to dancing like I did last weekend, but if it does happen it could trigger a revival of swing music in this dance which is much needed! Here are 10 songs that are very new to me that I am digging right now: Music – Walter Beasley (100 BPM) Body – The Foreign Exchange (104 BPM) I only Have Love – Syl Johnson (111BPM) Jimmy Lee – Aretha Franklin (88 BPM) Walkin’ After Midnight – Eva Cassidy (112 BPM) Yes Indeed – Ray Charles (110 BPM) At Last – Geraint Watkins (117 BPM) I will Survive – Nils Landgren (91 BPM) Come on Strong – Lena Horne (105 BPM) Dance Floor – Zapp & Roger (110 BPM) Enjoy!!! Sunday night I am Teaching figures in both Country Two-Step and West Coast Swing. The previous lessons are below if you need a refresher on either. See you ALL Sunday night! |
