Check out this "Saint James Infirmary Blues". It has two versions - acoustic and electro, and I believe both will work good for dancing.

"Blue Drag" was composed by Josef Myrow in 1932 and first recorded by the Washboard Rhythm Kings. Django Reinhardt and Freddy Taylor both recorded versions of "Blue Drag" in 1935. And this is 2021 version ;)

I need help finding a song.

So, I am talking with my girlfriend about what got each of us to be really into dancing. I told her about a video clip of a song, but looks like the original video-clip got deleted (so it isn't anymore on my playlist) and I don't remember the name, nor can find it anywhere. I remember that it was about this guy that was dancing with a woman that was really annoying, and this other woman that wanted to dance, but her partner didn't want to dance at all, so she ends up getting the courage to ask the guy to dance and they start dancing together. if anybody can help, I really appreciate it.

Recommendations for modern swing/big band jazz music that IS NOT Electro Swing to dance to?

For the sake of transparency, I'm a tap dancer but I like to dance to swing/big band jazz, I figured this sub would be the best place to ask. If this post isnt allowed, please let me know! TIA!
