History of Dance

The Swing started in the 20s along with the explosion of jazz music. Many different forms of the Swing exist, such as the Lindy Hop, Jitterbug, Jive and the Shag. But all of them include turns and intricate hand movements. Advanced swing dances even involve throws and flips! These dances are always very athletic, fast, and playful!
