What is swing dancing?
Swing dancing grew out of the jazz clubs and ballrooms of 1920s New York. Lindy Hop — the mother of all swing dances — was danced at the famous Savoy Ballroom and spread across the world through Hollywood films and travelling performers. Today it's danced at festivals and socials on every continent. Playful, musical and deeply social, it's the perfect dance for anyone.
