I would also like to echo Paris Combo...I find that alot of their stuff can be played for dancing (and not just swing dancing). It's a far cry from big band, but it's nice jazz. I have their self titled CD, which is pretty good- you can use stuff off it for some latin dances too. The singer's voice ...

When people go out to dance - they want to hear some familiar songs. The key is when and how to rotate them in. You gotta mix it up. Probably the worst thing you can play isn't an 'overplayed' song, but a set that's filled with a bunch of 'overplayed' songs in a row. Exactly, this is problem I have...

I've heard local djs play some soundtrack songs...they go over pretty well with most of the dancers, but I'm not a big fan of most of them.
