Kitchen disco | Songs to Swing Dance To

Iona Bower December 19, 2023

We could hardly stop tapping our feet after we finished reading all about the swing dancers in our December issue. So we’ve put together a playlist of songs that are great to swing dance to.

You can listen to our Swing Dance List here on Spotify, and meet the dancers from page 76 of the December issue, which is on sale now.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
