What is Swing Dancing?

Born in the jazz clubs of the 1920s and ’30s, swing dancing evolved from the lively rhythms of early big band music. It’s characterized by its syncopated footwork, rhythmic bounce, and partner connection, with plenty of room for personal style and improvisation.

Swing has inspired countless modern variations, each with its own personality and tempo, from classic rock-and-roll styles to smoother contemporary interpretations.

Popular Swing Dances We Teach:

  • East Coast Swing: A fun, beginner-friendly style full of spins, turns, and upbeat energy.

  • West Coast Swing: Smooth, elastic, and danced to contemporary pop, blues, and R&B music.

  • Lindy Hop: The original swing dance — dynamic, playful, and full of improvisation.

  • Jive: Fast-paced and energetic, blending classic swing with Latin flair.
