British Dance Band是Big Band音乐在英国的体现,源于20世纪二三十年代的舞厅,将英国爵士乐( Jazz)与Music Hall的传统相结合。一般来说二十世纪二十至四十年代的British Dance Band音乐在后来几十年发行的大量LP唱片中都有所体现,并主要以合辑的方式发行。其中许多唱片是由World Records、Decca Records等唱片公司发行的,很多都已成为收藏家的珍品,如Chris Ellis、John Wadley和Brian Rust等专家。

Sweet Music是由作曲家Maurice Winnick提出的一种独特的British Dance Band形式,相当于甜蜜爵士( Sweet Jazz)在英国的一种体现。
