About Swing
A little background.
Whether it be Lindy Hop, Jitterbug, Triple Time or Single Time, Swing dancing guarantees a good time. A favorite of many due to its up-tempo kicks and flicks, Swing dancing originated in Harlem, New York in the 1920s. Today it has a stronger social dance scene than ever and can be found being used in virtually all dancing situations.
