There are four three part series that will enhance your swing dance expertise. Each week we will teach and review the basic figures of the East Coast Swing. The first 1/2 hour of this dance lesson series will instruct the proper posture and body frames for leaders and followers, as well as how to lead and follow each other as dance partners. The next hour we will teach and practice basic figures for the East Coast Swing, During the second and third dance lessons of each dance level, we will continue to review, teach, and practice basic figures for East Coast Swing that will help you burn the floor. Note: This is the authentic East Coast Swing and not a simple swing dance or single step swing dance. Learn the "REAL" East Coast Swing from a professional dance instructor of 50+ years.

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.
