We will be covering both single time east coast swing and introducing triple step east coast swing. You will learn basic turns, leading and following. The foxtrot is a smooth dance where the dancers travel across the dance floor. The long walking movements contribute to the iconic sway motion. We will focus on being able to move around the floor with our partners, moving turns and connection.

FAQIs jitter bug the same as east coast swing? The jitterbug is very similar to single time east coast swing, but it may include a variety of regional influences.Do I need a partner?
