Learn more about swing dance
Swing dance is a lively and energetic form of partner dance that originated in the 1920s and 1930s alongside swing jazz music. It includes various styles, the most well-known being the Lindy Hop, Charleston, and East Coast Swing. The dance is characterized by its upbeat, improvisational nature, with couples often executing spins, flips, lifts, and intricate footwork. Swing dance was initially popularized in African American communities, particularly in Harlem, before spreading globally. The dance focuses on rhythm, timing, and connection between partners, making it a fun and social activity. Though its golden age was in the early 20th century, swing dance has seen a revival in recent years, with festivals, social dances, and competitions bringing together dancers of all ages. The combination of music, movement, and joyful energy makes swing dance a timeless and vibrant expression of both music and culture.
