Swing/Jitterbug

Swing is known as the most uniquely American of all the dances. Characterized by swing-outs, kicks, jumps, and spins, this buoyant Big Band dance is certainly contagious. Since the birth of "Swing" music in the mid 1930's, the Swing dance craze, which is also known as Lindy, Jitterbug and East Coast has been an American icon. Not only is this dance a staple at weddings, but you can find it anywhere from smoky blues clubs, to the fast paced Bid Band sounds of Glen Miller and Benny Goodman. You can't go wrong big splash on the big screen and in night clubs everywhere.

Swing songs and artists include:

In The Mood - Glenn Miller

Rock Around the Clock - Bill Haley and the Comets

Start Me Up - The Rolling Stones

Jump, Jive, An' Wail - Lious Prima or the Brain Setzer Orchestra
