What’s Swing Dance?
Charleston & Lindy Hop are American Swing Dances from the 1920ties to 1940ties. The focus is on the fun of rhythm and harmony, creativity, exchanging ideas and the interpretation of the music. These dances are sportive and give many space for funny and silly individual stylings.
Swing Music
Swing music is a kind of Jazz music which was played from the 1920ties to the 1940ties. On Youtube you can find a lot of music of these artists and you can get an impression to what kind of music you'll be dancin'.
