We know how it is. Very occassionally a tune will go to 5 minutes or be under 3. My boys are professionals and there is typically only a short space between tunes so you guys can keep dancing. A typical (swing) dance set might look like this as a starting point: 140 bpm swing 120 bpm swing 170 bpm swing 150 bmp swing 80 bpm swing ballad 160 bpm swing jazz waltz at 140 bpm 125 bpm swing ballad 150 bpm swing 110 bpm swing ballad 160 bpm latin tune 145 bpm swing Of course, the set is flexible according to the venue and event - we can custom our set as well. ...............Enquire about having us at your next event or venue . © 2006 by California Jazz Artists, contact 800-206-4258 x1 or eleonor.england @ gmail-dot-com for booking
