East Coast Swing, Lindy Hop and West Coast Swing

East coast swing (aka Jitterbug) is a subset of Lindy Hop, the grandfather of swing! These fun, playful dances are versatile, popular and danced to classic and contemporary swing and jazz music.

West coast is not the same as east coast! This smooth, contemporary style of swing can be danced to blues, R&B, funk, soul, contemporary and jazz music.
