Here is a selection of songs available on iTunes that I put together for a practice Balboa playlist. While there are tons of great songs for Balboa out there, I selected these for their solid rhythm (good for learning and practice) and sorted them on increasing beats per minute (BPM) so you can start slow and up your tempos from there.

Artist & Name (iTunes Link)	BPM
Artie Shaw – Begin the Beguine	141
Jonathan Stout and his Campus Five – Gotta Do Some War Work	150
Jonathan Stout and his Campus Five – Stuffy	152
The Bill Elliott Swing Orchestra – Streamliner	155
Jonathan Stout and his Campus Five – Squatty Roo	167
George Gee Big Band – Basie Boogie	167
Jonathan Stout and his Campus Five – Grand Slam	173
The Bill Elliott Swing Orchestra – Twelve Cylinder	189
Jonathan Stout and his Campus Five – Hop Skip and Jump	191
Jonathan Stout and his Campus Five – Bloodhound	213
Jonathan Stout and his Campus Five – Cottontail	225
