The Swing - a timeless dance that never fails to impress! Born from the Charleston and Lindy Hop of the Roaring 20s, the modern day jitterbugs momentum and popularity is as strong as the beat of swing music. Whether you are learning to dance Swing for a class reunion or a wedding, knowing Swing will make you the talk of the table. Swing is an exuberant celebration of movement and music created during the Harlem Renaissance.
When you step onto the floor the underlying rhythm of the jazz and swing music, the heartbeat of the dance, saturates the space. You can sense the energy as you and your partner use your knowledge of the elastic connection and the loose hand hold to captivate everyone around you. Learn this staple of American social dancing with its enduring and ever-growing popularity due to toe-tapping beats and snappy dance moves.
Swing Dancing has never been easier of more fun! Our DVD's Easy-To-Follow format will have you dancing in just a few minutes. All moves are demonstrated, and then taught in a logical sequence with clear descriptions.
