Friday, July 30 - East Coast Swing Variety Class
The Swing swept across the US in the early ’30s and was very poplar through the ‘40s (Remember the movie “Swing Kids?" Characterized by a carefree, relaxed style, the Swing soon came to represent a whole generation and time, when Big Band music was popular and musicians were judged by how well their music could “Swing”. Single step, double step and triple step versions make Swing a dance easily adaptable to a variety of tempos of music, from moderately slow to very fast. Swing is a highly adaptable dance, going equally well with Big Band type music, rock-and-roll music and many Motown songs. Swing music is generally up-tempo and bouncy (The same music style, at a slower tempo, is danced as a Foxtrot).
