Are you asking for recommendations for ska music that keeps it's steady, danceable beat? Anything but ska punk will do the trick, particularly and especially first wave stuff.; ▶ Reply to This

That would be like having a salsa band you couldn't salsa to or a swing band you couldn't swing to. Your choice of bands should just be a matter of how you want to dance and how fast. More traditional ska bands will let you skank really deep like you would to reggae whereas more punk-influenced bands will let you jump around more.

Oh yeah, and I would take up the Uptones on their offer--they're great to dance to and money for dancing sounds like a great combination.; ▶ Reply to This
