East Coast Swing can be traced to the original swing dance, Lindy Hop. Lindy Hop was created in the 1920’s by African American youth as a street dance in Harlem. It was in the late 1920’s that is was noticed at the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem. The Big Bands of swing and jazz music made popular as a dynamic, athletic dance. Variations of the Lindy Hop were the Jitterbug, and Swing. The three captured the imagination of young people everywhere it was danced in the United States and Europe. Eventually, the Lindy Hop was tamed and simplified by dance schools to become a ballroom dance called the Eastern Swing. It was in the late 1970’s that the name was changed to East Coast Swing.

East Coast Swing is a fun, upbeat dance with a tempo of 34-36 mpm (minutes per measure). It is a non-progressive dance distinguished by its “rock step” and “triple step”, “triple step” foot work.
