East Coast Swing

The Swing swept across the US in the early’30s and was very popular through the ‘40s. Swing is a dance easily adaptable to a variety of tempos of music, from moderately slow to very fast. You can dance it to a Big Band type music, rock-and-roll music and many Motown songs. It is generally up-tempo and bouncy (The same music style, at a slower tempo, is danced as a Foxtrot).
