Tony Evans & His Orchestra: Ragtime & Swing (The Ultimate Multi-Discipline Ballroom & Latin Archive)
A versatile, heavy-duty music catalog is the backbone of any professional dance studio, providing coaches and competitors with the perfect fluid transition between explosive speed drills and intricate technical control. In the definitive 20-track studio masterpiece “Ragtime & Swing,” Tony Evans & His Orchestra deliver an elite, multi-discipline training framework. This premium digital release is masterfully engineered to eliminate technical guesswork across a spectacular array of standard and Latin disciplines, including Ragtime Swing, International Quickstep, International Jive, International Latin Rumba, International Slow Waltz, International Slow Foxtrot, International Cha Cha Cha, and International Standard Tango.
Instead of forcing trainers and students to struggle with erratic commercial recordings that suffer from hidden downbeats, unstable tempos, or prolonged cinematic intros, Tony Evans anchors every composition with an unyielding, crystal-clear rhythmic spine. The tracklist is systematically organized to balance athletic stamina with artistic precision. Dancers can explode across the floor with the syncopated brass power of Bugle Call Rag and Tiger Rag, lock into the crisp, hip actions of the Cha Cha Cha flight paths with Wheels, master the rolling pendulum swing of the Slow Waltz, or command the dramatic, staccato frame transitions of International Tango with Temptation. Every single track is mixed with impeccable instrument isolation and clear introduction baselines, making it the absolute gold-standard resource for medal test examinations, Pro-Am showcases, and high-intensity simulated competition rounds.
Key Highlights of This Flagship Multi-Discipline Album:
Complete 20-Track Multi-Dance Library: A masterfully balanced compilation covering 8 core ballroom and Latin disciplines on a single high-fidelity digital asset.
Strict Competition Tempo (SCT) Baselines: Every track is tightly studio-locked into official international dance board speed baselines (including Quickstep at 50 BPM, Jive at 44 BPM, and Foxtrot at 29 BPM) to guarantee absolute pacing security.

Choreography-Friendly 16-Bar Phrasing: Clean, symmetrical phrase structures allow coaches to map out advanced syllabus variations and routines with complete structural confidence.
