Lending itself to a circular pattern and triple count beat, East Coast Swing is a dance that has Jitterbug roots and has been around in various forms for a long time. Originating as far back as the 1920’s with Lindy Hop, Jitterbug led to the popular 6-count basic swing dance that we know today as East Coast Swing. Danced with high energy in tight spots, East Coast Swing requires somewhat quick triple steps executed with a down-up-down pulse and a weight changing rock step requiring compression between the two partners. East Coast Swing is a ballroom dance falling under the “rhythm” category and was made popular in the 1950’s with the help of rock-n-roll and the club goers that sought a way to dance to the newly popular music. So if your seeking out a dance suitable for the club scene, a dance party, or rock music, East Coast is the ticket, and you're sure to have a blast learnign and dancing it!
