If you're looking for music suggestions for a dance lesson, music that you can practice to, a party/dance playlist, or you are trying to learn how to recognize swing dance music, look no further!
Here is a YouTube playlist collection of music that you can swing dance to. Most of the songs are suitable for East Coast Swing, but many of them are also appropriate for West Coast Swing, Lindy Hop, Jive, Jitterbug, and Shag. Some music here is fast that you can single-step to and some music is slower that you can triple-step to. Some music will be familiar and obviously intended for swing dancing and some music might surprise you to learn that you can swing dance to it.
Some of the songs are repeated because there are different covers and styles of the same song, so if you don't like one version, you might like another version. There is a variety of different styles and genres so you're sure to find something that will suit you! If you can't see the playlist video, you may need to click on the title of the post to go to the post's page directly. If you still can't see it, please let us know! You can also click on the link to view the playlist on YouTube itself.

To watch a YouTube playlist, all you have to do is click on the "play" button or anywhere in the middle of the player window and the first song will start playing. It will automatically play the next song after the current song is over. If you would like to skip ahead to another song, look for the icon in the top-left of the window that looks like a list with horizontal bars. Click on that icon and the playlist should appear over the video window. In that playlist, you can scroll down to see the list of songs and then click on the video you want to see.
