Learn to dance swing

Perhaps the most uniquely American of all dances, the Swing brings forth a buoyant carefree movement.  It's one of the dances that becomes contagious.

The Lindy (Swing) picked up where the Charleston left off.  It had "swing-outs", "Break-aways" and "shine-steps".  With the birth of "Swing" music in the mid 1930s, the Lindy climbed the social ladder.  In August of 1935, at the Palomar Ballroom, bandleader Benny Goodman played a Fletcher Henderson arrangement of "Stompin' at the Savoy".  The rest, as they say, is history.  The dance craze swept the nation, and depending on where you lived, it was the Jitterbug, the Lindy Hop or the Swing.  This most uniquely American dance is enjoyed all over the world.

Swing songs and artists include:

In the Mood - Glenn Miller
Rock Around the Clock - Bill Haley and the Comets
Start Me Up - The Rolling Stones
Jump, Jive, An' Wail - Louis Prima or the Brian Setzer Orchestra
