From our origins as the house band for the UW-Madison Swing Dance club, the DB Orchestra provides an event experience that whisks you back to the heyday of swing music.
“DB makes the atmosphere at swing events change completely! Their energy and pure joy in playing is fed to the dancers and the dancers change their style completely. They become more energetic, more willing to try things and even more willing to dance their energy off which never happens because DB supplies that energy continuously through the night! Endless fun.”
-John Drew, Madison Swing President
Some of our popular swing dance tunes include:
- Can’t Hurry Love
- Greased Lightning
- In the Mood
- It Don’t Mean a Thing (If it Ain’t Got That Swing)
- Johnny B. Goode
- Jump, Jive, an’ Wail
- Rock Around the Clock
- Sing, Sing, Sing
- When the Saints Go Marchin’ In
- Zoot Suit Riot
DB makes the dances seem more and more upbeat as their setlist progresses. It’s always fun to have them there.
-Madison Swing
