Jazz
music is the music of America, and swing dance
is the movement behind the music. Every day thousands
of people in almost every city if the country,
and all over the world are preserving it, innovating
with it, and enjoying it. Those participating
in the culture of swing are having a great time
and making history.
Lindy Hop is the swing dance from
the 30's, 40s and 50s, danced to Big Band Swing,
Jump Blues, Jazz and early Rock 'n Roll. You may
have seen it done in Swing Kids, or other movies...
Jitterbug is a 1950s dance you may have seen in
Swingers or in Big Bad Voodoo Daddy or Cherry
Poppin Daddies Videos.
In Swing and Lindy Hop you will
find swivels, aerials (air steps), kicks, rhythmic
footwork, and energetic turns. Lindy Hop is street
dance, done down low with bent knees and waist
and open arms.
All styles of Swing can be danced
very fast or very slow and everything in between.
You can wear vintage fashions, or come as you
are. Anyone can do it with the easy breakdown
from National Champions Dan and Tiff of 23 Skidoo!
