Swing dancing is a general term for all of the partnered dance forms that were created for jazz music from the 1920s through the 1950s, but are still popular today. These include; jitterbug, charleston, lindy, balboa, hand dancing and more. Usually when people speak of swing dancing they are referring to the easiest and most popular form of swing dancing which is known as the jitterbug or East Coast swing. Jitterbug will be taught in these lessons. Why swing dancing?? Because it is fun, healthy & a great way to meet people! Every participant is given a free pass to join us at the Slovenian Workmen’s Home Swing dance that night.
