cool music to get you swingin'

You can't get any better than the classics - Count Basie, Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Jordan - but there are some pretty hot neo-swing bands too. We have listed just some of our favourites to help you get your swing collection started.

cool threads to cut a rug in

Building up your vintage clothing collection can be just as tricky, so here are a few of our favourite local and online | retro and dance clothing sites for you to drool over!

And of course if wanna look even cooler on the dance floor (or anywhere for that matter) then you must get one of our totally wicked swing station tshirts.

swing at the movies

A great way to get into the mood is to kick back and watch some period movies, some of which even have some great swing clips to inspire you. Grab a coffee and enjoy....

Just some other random stuff that we think is cool but doesn't fit into any of the other categories and has absolutely nothing to do with swing!
