East Coast Swing, a lively and modern derivative of classic swing dance, is popular at local dance spots. In our sessions, we'll start with a single-time swing that's danced to quicker music. We'll transition into triple-time swing and add some lindy styling for a combination of dance steps and patterns that will keep you on the dance floor all night. Each term a different set of patterns will be taught. Singles and couples are welcome.
