But what is swing dancing?

It’s a vibrant dance style filled with lifts, spins, and flips.

As the name suggests, it involves a lot of swinging movements.

Interestingly, there isn’t a specific genre of music dedicated to swing dancing; any music that has a swinging rhythm can be used.

It’s a style that can light up a room.

Swing dancing is dynamic and fast-paced, often performed in a confined space, making it perfect for crowded venues.

Among the various sub-genres of swing dancing, the Lindy Hop, which has its roots in Harlem, stands out as the most popular.
